I had SBRT #4 on Tuesday, and I am going for #5 in 2 hours and 45 minutes ( but who's counting....). Yesterday I had a minimal extra urge to pee, today no symptoms. As far as bowels go no symptoms there. I am on Flomax and pee once a night. I also had a Barrigel spacer placed and my RO is using a urethra sparing technique where the urethra receives no "hot spots" (read doses higher than the whole prostate dose
of 7.25 Gy per fraction.) Additionally I am getting a focal boost at the main lesion to 40 Gy. I am 68, one 4+3, one 3+3, PSMA shows confined to prostate, Decipher high at .84, PSA 7.8.
My prep includes two Dulcolax the night before, and an enema 2 hours before.

Stay Strong Brother.

toolbelt, who is your "urethra sparing" RO.
