Hello All,today is 14 days since last rad session.Still have some blood on tissue after bowel movement.Maybe hemoroid.Normal stool.Still a little pressure on the rectum when Im done.Not bad.

Urinary really OK.Just getting up once during the nite.The flow is good.No burning,no blood.Cant complain.The P right now still happens occasionally.I always carry a piss bottle in the car,just in case.

Taking viagra daily.Sperm is still present,not as much as pre-radiation,but still there when ejaculating,but a little clearer.

No fatigue,feeling good.I will see RO April 12 for a follow-up.The nurse called me friday just checking up on me.I hope my other CK mates are doing well.Keep us posted.SemperFi

Sounds like a speedy recovery, especially impressive without even taking Flomax or an NSAID.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are on schedule. I finished CK Round 2 yesterday and have round 3 tomorrow. So far, so good, but that's gonna change here pretty quick.

Glad to hear your recovery is going well 0311, especially without any NSAIDS or Flomax as TA said. Wish I was so fortunate! :-) I feel you on the hemmorhoid issues as well, I'm having the same issues as well post HDB-m, along with some tenesmus on occasion. No ejaculate at all here, though I'm on Flomax which, based upon being on Flomax in my past, greatly diminished it before. I didn't go with any prophylactic Viagra - but haven't had any issues with erections knock on wood - pun intended! :-)

0311, I'm tracking with you but have worse bowel issues, particularly in the morning. I've been hitting some aspirin and ibuprofen to see if it helped, and though it may be just time things seem better. The tenesmus, which I have had in a big way, also seems to be abating. Urine flow is minimally restricted, and that odd feeling--the same as when urinating after orgasm--seems to be lessening. There is still lots of ejaculate--my gf and I have been joking about who gets the final wet spots. Not a bad problem to have, really!

JockMT,My ROs nurse recommended,Aleve,Advil,or naprosen for anti-inflamatory issues which cause the discomfort.I also use Hemp seed every morning with my steel-cut oatmeal.Hemp seeds you can buy at Whole Foods.Ive been taking it for years for a shoulder muscle inflamation.I use about 2 tablesspoons a day.It works for me.My tenesmus had abated pretty much.Still a little blood on tissue.Still have sperm.I plan on using it all up before its all gone.So you will have to excuse me now as I have some work to do.SemperFi
