Starting Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer: Any experiences?

My biopsy was via TP procedure. Markers placed but the Space/OAR gel placement failed which delayed my proton treatment. Eventually got my proton treatment without the Space/OAR gel.

Instead of the Space/Oar did you have to do the balloon each time?

I have heard of problems with Space/Oar but mine work. The only thing is that it is you do feel it. I talked to my Oncologist/Radiologist and said "Yes they are a real pain in the butt." I laughed but the discomfort has gone away as I was advised it would.
