Not exactly, but Dr Lee (city of hope) declared the gel unnecessary. This was with the five MRI guided. Would Lee have place the gel? in treatment there. I was worried, but no problems since, though radiation takes a while to damage the epithelium.

My guy said the same but i did 21 treatments. In theory the gel sounds great but given the 1 or 2% chance of complications with placing of the gel, it kind of negates the 2 to 4% chance of serious long term rectal issues somewhat. That was the reasoning I was given and I just went with the docs advice.
