restricted urinary flow

[kainasar]

Finished IMRT/ SBRT radiation to

lymph nodes last week. Since then Ive begun have early AM restricted urinary flow - Very narrow stream.

Rad Onc suggested tamsulosin or ibuprophen. MO, tamsulosin.

Any work around for the early AM problem that I could take overnight? Ibuprophen has to be taken all day, burns stomach, and causes dribbling. Flomax is incompatible with anti- depress and sleep meds, I have to take to alleviate ADT side effects, and takes a month to work.

Appreciate words of medical wisdom, other than "go with the flow"

Last year I had a CT scan which showed large Lymph nodes in my abdomen pressing on my bladder. In August I started Brukinsa. Since then the lymph nodes have shrunken and taken the pressure off my bladder. I have been on Tamsulosin for many years.

Best of luck!
