Catheter use following brachytherapy

Age 62. Diagnosed with prostate cancer, PSA 5.7 Gleason score 7. Great health and very active except this stuff. Opted for exterior beam radiation for 5 weeks, followed up with seed implant. Prior to starting radiation received a 3 month hormone therapy shot, and another 6 month shot prior to the seed implant. I sailed through radiation, but since seed implant it's been rough, ended up in emergency room as I couldn't urinate 4 weeks after the surgery. Ended up with catheter for 2.5 weeks, now self catheterizing for past week up to 8 times per day.

Questions I have: will this get better? Also since seed implant It's hard to control my bowels. Now, in my current state if I feel urge to urinate I also can't control poop discharge. Sometimes gas, mostly small discharge. Is this normal and will it get better?

Thanks riceman3 for the reply. That is encouraging to hear at this stage. I am taking flomax, will look into tamsulosin.
