My HMO does not include MSK which seems to be the only NYC area hospital doing HDR I thought Mount Sinai does HDR but it is mentioned but not doctor is listed as actually doing HDR. Just a longshot but does anyone know where I can get HDR in the NY city area? I will otherwise have IMRT and with my chronic pain is an agonizing choice (sitting on the table hurts a lot)
