What technology was used?
I don't know about surgery or chemo, but with radiation, a new process was intruduced about 5 years ago that pushes the colon away from the prostate, greatly reducing the chance of radiation damage to the colon.
If planning radiation, make sure to talk to doctor about it.
I had a gel pad inserted between the prostate and colon, about a month before radiation treatment. I was put to sleep for this procedure. I guess this is S.O.P. now.
The Dr. said it will dissipate in about 6 months.
