Experiences with

Flomax Relief MR

I've been on Flomax (tamsulosin) since my positive biopsy in June 2022. In that time, I've had 2 years of ADT and 44 sessions of proton radiation, and am now done with treatments and all other drugs for the time being. It was initially prescribed at 2x/day, which was helpful during and after radiation

Completed my Prostate radiation treatments on July 11. I am on ADT (Orgovyx, Abiraterone, prednisone), and Flomax. The ADT will coninue for at least 2 years. Last week, tested positive for Covid; put on Paxlovid- was advised to stop Flomax while on Paxlovid. Continuing with the other meds. Was told,

D-Day arrives August 6th for IG/IMRT. Two very kind and empathetic technicians attend to my placement on the treatment bed. Lasers aligned, they leave the room and this giant green machine (which I had not previously met) begins whirring and gyrating about my torso with beeps and clunks. I sense that

I see Urology tomorrow. I'm 68 and had my first PSA test ever last week. The result was 33 ng/ml and my family practice MD was alarmed and referred me right away. For the past 2 yrs I've been taking Flomax, 1 at night, to help with frequent urination at night. It also has helped with starting/stopping

Does anyone have advice or tips on getting a catheter removed? My husband had it inserted due to urinary retention. The oncologist said his prostrate is full of cancer and pressing on the urethra. He has started adt with casodex and lupron. Soon to add zytiga. He also takes flomax. He’s tried twice

Recently saw post which suggested a possible side effect of Tamsulosin ie Flomax could be AF? Anyone have any evidence of this..been taking it for twenty years!Medics suggested AF could have possibly caused HF or the other way round..Sorry for posting twice ..couldn’t work out how to post to two at same

Hi all - curious if any of you are experiencing pretty intense restless legs? I am a triplet therapy patient and am through the chemo and radiation (maybe quad therapy:)) so wondering if somehow Darolutamide is contributing to this? I also take a statin, a reflux pill, vitamin D, flomax, and cialis

My friend has PSA of 9.3. Last PSA was in mid 1's. Lives in Phoenix area. Was treated for frequent urination with Flomax in the past,, but hasn't been on it for a long time. Any recommendations for doctor for initial consultation? Thanks

Follow up from my previous post & many thanks to the helpful advice from members here. I scheduled a teleconference with Dr Albert Chang at UCLA in November, scheduling is 3 months out so treatments were Feb.3 and 6. Normally a week apart but since I flew in they did 3days apart. We stayed at the Luskin

2 weeks post SBRT 5 sessions for low risk intermediate and the short term SEs have diminished, no longer taking the flomax and rectal issues were minimal.Are the acute/short term SEs severity a predictor for long term/ chronic SE issues?

Could the men here who use estrogen patches at "just to feel good" levels comment on your experience? Mr. Spouse21 will be getting spot radiation to a single spinal tumor very soon. Thanks to everyone who encouraged that instead of Pluvicto at this time. His two oncologists agreed as did a radiation

5 sessions all complete for my low risk intermediate pc at Christies Manchester UK today.Started flomax yesterday for some urinary urgency hopefully that will resolve itself, a bit loose from the rectum this morning but nothing else.I'll get back to you all in the coming yrs about late side effects,

I want to thank this forum for men helping other men. I will list my experience in the hope it may help others. I especially want to thank Tall-Allen, whose advice and work on this forum is, to me, a truly meaningful endeavor, and when all is said and done, this is what life is about. I was diagnosed

I have an enlarged prostate and I am trying to determine if I should be taking medicines or have a procedure such as TURP. I would like to get some experiences of people that have taken Flomax or other medicines to reduce the prostate size. I have an allergy to sulfa, what makes me a little nervous about

Continuing my reporting on my experience after 5 SBRT treatments with focal boost, Barrigel spacer, urethral steering to try and avoid GU side effects. I am 68, in good shape, one 4+3, one 3+3, Decipher .84, PSA 7.8, PSMA PET confined to prostate, 6 months Orgovyx. Flomax started with treatment and

For those Brothers currently doing, or are going to do SBRT here is an update. I will likely do a weekly (or there abouts) update. I am on day32 of Orgovyx and have no side effects....yet....

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
