@clevelandguy The gel spacer only works for the rectum - there is no barrier for the bladder.

If you read my comments I never said there was a barrier for the bladder, but the nature of Proton therapy will protect it better than conventional X-ray radiation. Traditional X-ray rads would go right through the bladder where Proton will not go through the bladder.
