I’ll add diarrhea to the side effects list, 3-4 times daily for me. If I take Imodium immediately, I have one fewer episode.

This is the reason they developed SpaceOAR and similar products. They are to protect the rectum so it doesn’t get radiated. While they latest techniques minimize that issue, it’s obvious that they have not resolved it in all cases.

I have heard of this problem from other people, but it is not a common problem. On the other hand, the urinary tract problems are pretty common.
