Sure, glad I only did five proton radiation treatments as the only urinary problem post radiation seems to be more urgency when washing dishes in hot water with it running. If I have to go at all I have to stop the dishes and go, or I will dribble a drop. Now during the radiation, I had to stop the coffee as they tell you to avoid caffeine. After the first treatment my mug of coffee was waiting the car for me, and I drank it on the way home then finished my pot of Mr. Coffee. The same scenario for the second treatment except this time about an hour after I finished the pot my bladder said, "you dummy you should have listened to the instructions". I was going every half an hour whether it was a little or a lot. Needless to say, I stopped the coffee for about two weeks after my last treatment.
Many thanks for the support. I will certainly take your advice. Best of luck.
