my husband had SBRT (prostate, few spots on spine, and one rib) in August and November 2023 with no side effects. He recently had lab work and It showed blood in urine, high protein, and crystals. He had an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones and it showed nothing so he is now scheduled for a Uro CT scan with contrast to make sure no kidney stones. He has had kidney stones in the past and that’s what it has felt like (low back pain). Is this too much radiation? Is this too soon after SBRT? Has anyone had a CT scan after having SBRT? Any problems? Thanks.

I’m not a doctor but if I would be in this situation Inwould go for CT. It’s a matter of priority.
No problem. CT is a drop in the bucket compared to his SBRT. Just avoid cystoscopy.
If he had stones before........... he knows the pain............. I've had several right and left....and I know the pain........If stones, hopefully he passes them/it quickly. Try jumping up and down (or ride a horse) to help dislodge the stone(s). Plenty of water..... and more water and more water and some cranberry juice.....
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
