IMRT and Slow Urination
Only 3 IMRT treatments and I seem to be experiencing slower urination. Two questions. 1) anyone experience this after prostate radiation? 2) I’m currently on .4 mg Flomax daily. Are others here taking more?

DR ELLIE CANNON: Is my GP on the level about cholesterol?

I questioned this, saying that I thought anything over five was considered high. I am 63, slightly overweight, have normal blood pressure and stopped
