Watch this video:
Dr Carl Rossi from San Diego proton center gave a presentation in 2023 patient conference by PCRI.
Dr. Rossi’s presentation starts around timestamp 3:39:20
The specific part about Proton SBRT starts around timestamp 4:30:40.
He did 5 day SBRT with Proton Beam for 41 patients. Around 20-25% experienced urine bother, so he stopped. His standard now is 4-6 weeks treatment.

I did the five proton treatments at Mayo Phoenix. I had only two episodes of urinary bleeding on day 282 and 286 after radiation. Up till day 225 I was peeing like a teenager, then started to feel a little different when going but nothing alarming at all till the bleeding. Had a cystoscopy that showed red area on the posterior bladder wall but nothing that was bleeding. I am now at day 335 with no other problems but I do take Flomax as I did before radiation for my huge prostate.
