I had 5 SBRT treatments and had some severe rectal bleeding 5 months later. My GP sent me to a Gastrointestinal Doctor after the usually prescribed enemas and suppositories didn't help. The specialist used APC-Argon Plasma Coagulation which worked well to clear up the problem.

@beluga Was this Proton theapy? Sorry to hear that happened. It certainly goes against all my expectations of Proton and a spacer.
