that they're not allowing the patient to have a protective measure and that if they develop, whether it be rectal bleeding, you know, prostatal rectal fistula, et cetera, et cetera, that it's going to be on their hands and on their head at every which way. I think we got to stand up for our patients and support them on something that, you know, really seems necessary in a lot of these people.

How about you, Eric? I think long-term side effects, I haven't really had anything. I use the Boston Scientific sort of flip book to rip through the 18 extra pictures they have explaining to the patient of the procedure, just kind of showing them sort of the diagram and the anatomy.

And, you know, it has on there that three months it starts to dissolve and I tell them by six months it should be gone. I have yet to see anything, let's say, on someone with a recurrence that ends up getting an MRI for some reason again or a PET. I've yet to really see anything, but it's probably pretty far down the line.

Not really. I don't think so. They're not doing it themselves other than maybe some, in our case, by me. So I think either they're not as familiar or just assume I know what I'm doing and so on and so forth. But I think from the marker standpoint, the only thing they might tell me is if it's going to be an SBRT for... For some reason, they want four markers as opposed to otherwise three.

I think only some of the other stuff that I sort of a think tank not long ago on spacing and so on that I watched sort of a panel of people discussing different things. And I think discussion about really making sure you get enough at the apex versus the other end all the way to the base being more important and so on. But I'd say that's about it.

So Eric, anything else you want to add? Just a few things I think that I may have mentioned, but along the way, I think this, as both of us have said, this is definitely a procedure that people can do in the office. I think you just need to get a little comfortable working with a biplane or probe, working in two planes, very much just like many of us have done seeds and so on. And I think

Once you get comfortable with that, I think making your patients comfortable with enough lidocaine or some other methods of analgesia can help. Even to, I think we generally give the patients a couple of extra strength Tylenol, something I really just kind of picked up from a pain expert and so on.
