@service1010 - My sim prep was very similar to colonoscopy prep. MiraLAX the day before, fleet enema the morning of the procedure, and 32 oz of water 1 hour before. When it came to actual treatment, it was just regular bowel movements and water an hour before.

@service1010 well whatever works...I cannot remember my prep instructions, frankly..that time is mostly a blur I am trying to forget...why not call and ask just to make sure..I do know that several guys were not able to get their radiation becaus they had not empptied bowels ...so it is a big deal..also, drinking the 35 oz water before radiation each morning is a must. once you get the routine down tho, its not a big deal
