Hubby was due his 17th RT )out of 20 ) yesterday. They tried 3 times but due to wind blocking view of prostate they couldn’t do it. He had to do the whole prep x 2. we were sent home . I am so frightened that it will be the same toddy. He takes windeeze and tried peppermint tea. He don’t aware of having any wind. He is on low fibre diet and they say he is eating correct food and drink. What will happen if he is unable to have his last four treatments. I read it can cause cancer to grow . Has anyone else had to miss sessions . He has had six months of ht but due to heart attacks they don’t want him staying on ht.

I had that problem several times. I was told to go out for a walk even a gentle jog and that always solved the problem. I had to have 37 sessions.

Yes he’s done that on previous occasion but nothing moved it on Wednesday. Still had wind yesterday but could do the RT. We will see what today brings !
