Hi Charlie, I also had external beam radiation in mid 2009. This followed a prostatectomy in late 2008 with negative pathology. I had no bladder issues until mid 2010, when I developed intermittent blood in the urine and occasional bed-wetting. These symptoms gradually got worst over time. In December I had surgery to cauterize the bleeding areas in my bladder and biopsy for possible cancer. No cancer was found. Now (five weeks after the surgery) blood in urine is much reduced but I have severe overflow incontinence and constantly leak urine requiring constant diaper use. I weighed the diapers and leakage totals over one liter. I am in the process of investigating what has happened and what to do about it.
