As I mentioned earlier, I'm in a similar situation to @lcashell . In addition to staying hydrated, my urology oncologist told me to reduce or eliminate these common urinary-tract irritants:
- caffeine
- alcohol
- spicy foods
- carbonated beverages
(And probably others I've forgotten; opinions vary on citrus, but wasn't a problem for me.) Not all of them affect everyone with radiation bladder damage, but cutting them down is the first and easiest thing someone can do; then you can gradually reintroduce and see which ones actually cause you issues.
