First so sorry you had this experience.
I see you had MRI Guided Fusion. Did you have it done transrectal or transperineally?
Normally (can only advise what Mayo Jacksonville does) transperineally is done with anesthesia and thus you would not be awake. Transrectal biopsies are done through your rectum where transperineally is done through the perennial.
From your post I assume you had it done transrectal is that correct? I did not have transrectal as I posted. Could they have used as enema to clean you out? Would be something to asked. Again did not have transrectal so if you had it done that way can't give you my experience with it but your post does not seem to be the norm I have seen on MCC
