I read that they now put a "spacer" between the bowel & the area getting targeted by radiation, so there's less collateral damage to the bowel or bladder.
Still glad I had mine out, though.

Peterj116, I had SBRT almost 5 years ago, 9/2000, and had the "spacer" put in so your comment of "that they now put a "spacer" between the bowel & the area getting targeted by radiation" isn't representative of what has been going on for at least 4+ years.
