@damonk Thanks and good luck with your treatment. That sounds very similar to Dr Chang's protocol. He places the catheters, rectal spacer & fiducial markers then you are awake for CT/MRI planning & radiation. The difference with how they do it on the east coast and why you are under anesthesia so long is they do everything why you are asleep, placing the 15+ catheters into prostate, planning procedure with a physicist, inserting rectal spacer & fudicial markers, then do the HDR. There are many people who would prefer not being awake at all.
