8 Hours Post Seeds

One Week Plus One Day Post Seeds-- Messing up

Hi Everyone
Well I was bragging a bit about how I was able to pee okay after only one week after the seeds procedure and had only minor pain in my prostate area. Why be happy with a good thing, when you can f___k it up. My doc told me to avoid various foods including chocolate, coffee etc so yesterday I decided to raid the chocolate trouffles in the frig that Job had left there carelessly. It can't be my fault that my favorite candy from Trader Joe's was staring me in the face. So I had two and then two more and, well, two more. Voila--I peed fine no pain. That must mean I have a stainless steel bladder my mind says. So in the afternoon about 4pm I go by by my favorite Starbucks and say to myself, what the hay everything is fine down there, lets see what she can take. I found out. Cafe Latte with soy but I was careful and got a small. Two hours later no problem. Three hours later a little pain. Then about 11pm I thought my pants were on fire--the burning was the worst I had had. I grabbed an extra strength Tylenol but didnt get to sleep until 4 am. The palladium is now almost halfway through the first half life and is cooking pretty well. Does the radiation cause the bladder to be irritated or the urethra? Anyone know what exactly these foods irritate and how long I should avoid them?
Best to you all

Almost two weeks Post seeds

Hello Guys
Hope you are still hanging around. I have not had IMRT which someone asked about. A sense of fullness and some burning continue and urine slowing more. I had to take a potassium supplemnt for another problem and its in a high acid citric solution that drives my bladder nuts. Another forum guy suggested baking soda in water and that seems to have calmed things down-- definitely cuts down on burning and frequency. Went to see a guided imagery gal who does reflexology and she told me how much better I looked that just before the seeds-- then she puts my hand on this computerized reflexology thingy and indeed the energy fields around the prostate are in healing mode. Its pretty airy fairy stuff but very lovely. She also does a hands on healing thing that just made me full unbelievably good-- relaxed and less reactive to the bladder issues. My main challenge now is to avoid all the foods I love like choc, coffee and stawberries etc so as to not aggravate bladder baby. I now get strange partial erections for no good reason but libido has not returned from stopping the ADT two months ago .I feel so fortunate to most likely have cancer behind me though of course we shall see. I also feel a sense of loss of all things-- I have focused my life on this for 6 months-- now there is room for a new focus. Maybe I will get to do the film I have been tryng to produce. www. mindtravelersmovie.com
Stay tuned.
