I did Spaceoar, I did not like the shape of it as it only came about 60% down the prostate. I had my urologist review ( Spaceoar recommended ) and a Hopkins trained RO walk through individual dosage to every part of my body. I still think about it but I was at a center of excellence. My point is to make sure and review your CT/MRI and ask questions, it needs to be in properly not just injected.

That’s why the newer product (Barrigel) is sometimes preferred over SpaceOAR. Barrigel allows more control of where the gel is placed. Unlike with SpaceOAR, Barrigel can be sculpted in place to create a custom fit to one’s anatomy.
