This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
I will be having CyberKnife treatments in about a month. Prior to that, they will be inserting a SpaceOar (a gel separator) between the prostate and rectum. Has anyone had the SpaceOar procedure? How was it? Do I need to undergo general anesthesia, or can I be awake?
You can also use the "search" feature in our Resources page (http://yananow.org/resources.shtml) to find other helpful information about the SpaceOAR implant.
