I did the five-proton treatment at Mayo Phoenix. It was a Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Monday-Wednesday. My three- and nine-month PSA were undetectable, and I am 74. You don't state your age which would be a factor in which treatment you would choose. I was a 4-3 Gleason in two cores and 3-4 in two cores all from the area of a seven mm lesion. I had a 30 core transperineally fusion guide biopsy due to my 120-gram prostate and my PSA was 2.9. I chose radiation because of my age, and it has the same results as removal. If I get 15 more years it makes me 89 and I don't want to go into a nursing home.
