SpaceOAR causing issues

The placement of my Space OAR failed in October of 2022 and created an ulcer in my anal canal wall. This delayed me getting my proton radiation. I just had my second sigmoidoscopy last week and the ulcer is now healed. I told my urologist at OU back in October of 2022 I will not do another gel placement since the first placement failed. Now waiting to get my proton radiation.

My ulcer was not healed after four months. I will schedule another check in the next two months. I had a colonsocpy in October and they saw the ulcer after I requested they report back to me on that. They took a biopsy and it was negative.
