Thanks so much Mjp for sharing your experience 🙂. I think that our dr. mentioned 3 markers too. The placement was scheduled for end of July but than moved now for next week and we had no opportunity to ask any questions 😬, so thanks for additional details. If there would be an "anthem" for PC support group it definitely should be song "The NeverEnding Story" . (1984)

@surftohealth88 - You're welcome surf. Couple more things. Horse pill antibiotic the morning of the procedure and an antibiotic shot in rear in office just before. I remember feeling the shot for much longer than the procedure itself. Injection site was sore for a day or 2 afterward. Fiducial placement was unremarkable by that evening. Timing...fiducials inserted on 9/2, simulation on 9/11, IMRT began on 9/30.

And then on to the full bladder, empty bowel routine which is its own chapter on MCC...😁
