Traveling post SBRT

Posted by bennybenedetti @bennybenedetti, Sep 15 2:23pm

I'm a healthy, active, fit 69 year-old. My wife and I have a vacation planned, flying to the Cabo San Lucas area for a week. As it turns out, the vacation starts nine days after I'll have completed SBRT. My attitude in life is to find a way to do things, not a reason not to. But I'm curious if anyone has experiences or thoughts to share with respect to traveling that soon after treatment. Thx.

Jeff
have you seen any data regarding starting either or both tamsulosin and cialis 5mg 1-2 weeks prior rad start? wondering if there is an advantage of improving flow prior rad.

I know that many doctors prescribe Cialis for regular use after a prostatectomy.

More information

After a prostatectomy, Cialis helps by aiding in penile rehabilitation to preserve penile function and length, rather than just treating the symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) directly. It works by improving blood flow to the penis, which helps prevent muscle loss and fibrosis in the penile tissue. It can also provide some relief from urinary symptoms by relaxing the bladder and prostate muscles, though this benefit is more significant in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH
