It’s real good to hear your symptoms are starting to go away.
Maybe it was partly stress that you were finally released from after having treatment.
Those urinary issues are a real pain, Seems like everybody gets something these days, At least getting up twice at night isn’t too oppressive. You could get one of those bottles designed for peeing into that would eliminate needing to get up. When I had my knee replaced, I used one because it was just too painful to get up for the first week or two. I kept two of those bottles next to the bed in case I had to go too much. I would even use them during the day, Getting a knee replaced can be really difficult for the first couple of weeks

@jeffmarc I have some of those bottles standing by. On the drive home after my last treatment in Seattle, I had to get my wife to stop in an inconvenient place where I jumped out of the car as fast as I could so I could piss by the roadside. It was either that or piss myself inside the car. After that I have had bottles in the car and by the bed, but I haven't had to use them. My urinary issues are improving from where they were prior to treatment. My RO says they may improve even more since the treatment shrank the size of my prostate considerably.
