Experimental Group
Patients will receive the standard are to prepare them for their planning CT scan. They will be presented with the flyer that will be developed based on information about the importance of rectal and bladder preparation that is currently provided to patients and will also watch a youtube video on how to prepare for their CT simulation appointment. A few days before the CT planning appointment, patients in this group will be called by the radiation therapist or RA, reminding them about the rectal preparation for the appointment. Each patient will also be reminded to watch the instructional video on YouTube. Patients will be asked not to share the video link with other patients during the study.
Educational video: Patients in the control group will receive standard patient education Patients in the experimental group will receive standard education and an educational video

Control Group
Patients in this group will receive the standard care to prepare them for their planning CT scan. They will be presented with the flyer at the consultation. A few days before the CT appointment, patients in this group will also be called and reminded about the required preparations, but will not be told about the video. In addition to the statistics about patient preparedness collected by the radiation therapist conducting the CT scan and stored and secured in an OCC Pinnacle planning system, we will also evaluate: patients' satisfaction with the preparation instructions, their knowledge (knowledge questionnaire) about the video content and importance of understanding the rectal emptying procedures, and radiation therapists' satisfaction with patients' rectal preparation.
