Marlow2, I am currently undergoing Proton treatment at Mayo, AZ. I had the Barrigel Spacer inserted on 2/14/24. There was no discomfort or bleeding of any kind after the surgery. This is a very new procedure here at Mayo and they are very pleased with the results I'm having. We are staying in our motorhome at a RV park in Mesa for the duration of the 28 treatments. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We'll probably cross paths at some point during treatments.

Hi Steve,
I hope you will be able to meet my husband Jim Koller and myself Marlow. I am blind and use a golden retriever Seeing Eye Dog and I will be sitting in the lobby where treatment is nearby. Thanks for your encouraging comments. Jim had his surgery on 2-29-24 and CT Scan on 3-1-24. He will have to redue the CT Scan since he still had some fecal matter in his body. I'm sure that Proton Beam Therapy will begin around 3-18-24. He will be meeting with the decipher folk on 3-7-24. We live in the opposite part of Phoenix in Peoria. Jim is 72 and was diagnosed on 1-2-24. Would love to meet you and possibly your wife.
Good Luck on your treatment
