The video on LDBT vs. HDBT was excellent Darryl. I do have one question though which was not touched on. From talking to HDBT patients on this site it appears that the treatment now has two visits, not one as indicated in the video. I am curious why this was not mentioned. FYI, I am scheduled for HDBT in Kelowna, BC, Canada in March and it also comprises of two treatments spaced 2 weeks apart. Just wondering if Seattle does things differently. BTW, mine is GL 3+4 with a PSA of around 7.5. I am 77 years old and otherwise healthy.

I'm sorry to say the video does not have enough information about one or two sessions for HDR Brachytherapy. I'll do better next year.
