Side effects of radiation treatment for prostate cancer

It's my husband who has finished his radiation treatment for prostate cancer and got the all clear.about two months ago. He's  in constant pain in the treated area  at times in bed for a couple of days and barely  able to talk because of the pain.

 He also suffers from polycythemia, a few days ago he was bleeding every time he had to wee.  Would you think Is this a side effect from the treatment 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Any ongoing symptoms like these, should be reviewed so he should get in contact with his hospital team or hospital clinical nurse specialist if he has one.

    They can advise further. If he is in alot of pain, then he does also need to let his GP know about this. It may be side effects from the treatment. But it could also be a urine infection that may need treating.

    I hope that this gets sorted out soon,

    Best wishes,
