No, I did not.

When originally discussing with the urologist at the time of diagnosis, he suggested I get that if I was doing radiation for the primary / initial treatment. I went with surgery.

When the PSA started to rise, I went to radiation oncologist for salvage radiation treatments (39) and he (the radiation oncologist) didn't recommend it for that treatment.

I had a failed placement of the SpaceOar gel. Now waiting until gel dissipates before I start radiation treatment without the SpaceOar Gel.
