One has to keep hydrated especially during Radio Therapy treatment. I am consuming the recommended quantities of fluid throughout the day, BUT,, Still get up at least 5 times in the night to urinate and am told I do not have a retention problem. Surely this situation renders me dehydrated??

@viking47 Hello viking, I experienced this too. It's just dreadful! Have you tried eating foods with a high water content? That helped me a bit. Things like broccoli, salad, melon, all that?
