Just a quick update to share my experience with CK treatment. I completed 3 treatments last week (Wed.-Fri.), each treatment is 7 Gy. I will have my last two treatments this week on Tues. & Thurs.
I did experience some restriction of urine flow after my 3rd treatment so I started tamsulosin (Flowmax) and that resolved the issue. I also started taking one Alleve (naproxen sodium) per day to combat inflammation.
I also felt some bowel urgency symptoms starting after my 3rd treatment which may have been attributed to taking a Dulcolax tablet every night and Miralax every morning to ensure a regular BM before every treatment.
I will follow up with a brief report after I complete my treatments to share any further personal experiences I may have, for what it's worth. So far I am happy with my chosen course of treatment.
Today it is a beautiful day and I will be going for a bike ride, to the driving range to hit a bucket of balls and to the gym for a workout, so I guess I am feeling pretty good.
Best of luck to everyone else with their journey and I wish you all good health!
