I have been on flomax for a month. Is there a good chance that i will get a full nights sleep in the near future ?

I had the same experience, I was up every two hours, it was not fun. About a month after the completion of my radiation I had a complete obstruction caused by scar tissue, I had had a radical previous to the radiation and this is a common issue when radiation is performed soon after surgery. Ever since I have been able to sleep again the whole night. I am sure once the effect of radiation have left your system you will also be able to go through the night. It may take a while yet, hang in there, it will get better.

Urination is a timely process and go every 2 hours with much straining. now for the good news...all reports tell me that as soon as the radiation is over that normal function should return in about a month.. so hang in there and good luck. At least you don't have to catherize yourself as I have had to. Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message
