Hi Sir,My father (78 years old) is suffering from prostate cancer, considering his age and other factors doctor advised him to treat with Harmon injection followed by radio therapy. Now before preceding the radio therapy, doctor advised him to undergo TURP surgery. Seeing that his recent Post-void residual urine value is 135 and considering it has high possibilities to get infection during radiotherapy treatment.Can you please advice what is the normal post-void residual urine value, if the value is high is there more possibilities to get infection during radiotherapy?   Regards,Anand
