Question for those experiencing proctitis post radiation, one two years after. Did you have spaceOAR or similar hydrogel applied prior to radiation? I am a year and a half post radiation with no spaceOAR and was wondering what to expect.

@edtrucks SpaceOar placed about six weeks before 44 IMRT treatments. Didn't prevent radiation proctitis which started with diarrhea during treatment and continues 15 months later with bowel urgency and frequency.
