How Long is Too Much Time Between SpaceOAR and Radiation?

My SpaceOar was implanted about four weeks before I started five rads of SBRT treatment in May 2024. At the first session, which included a walkthrough, they did check first to make sure the gel was properly seated before treatment started. If you have concerns about the length of time talk to your RO or other care provider. Best of luck on your journey. You got this.

Thanks, Scott M!
I finally got through to my radiation oncologist and she moved up the CT Planning session to Dec. 19th, a week after the gel implantation (Dec. 12), instead of later in January. I was completely out for my biopsy and am told the gel implantation will be the same deal, but hopefull fewer punctures! 😬
