Finished 8 weeks of IMRT yesterday - summary report

One thing that I find really helpful is a clamp. The staff will give you one no problem at Mayo. And you can wear it during treatment. Basically, this allows you to go #2 without going #1. Or just hold urine when you are about to burst, but you're up next. I mean just during that 10-20 minutes before treatment, not at home or anything.
Some photos below from Mayo JAX. Yacht rock for about 2 minutes then you're done.

@smoore4
The clamp sounds very painful and I would worry that it would cause serious injury. I had a long drive to my 44 treatments so timing a full bladder was very difficult. Several times I just had to urinate right before treatment. There must be a better way.

@smoore4 I just tie mine into a sheep shank, keeps it out of the water ( cold and deep) then let go after radiation ! ;=)
