Starting Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer: Any experiences?

I'm going to second the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville recommendation. While I was getting Proton Therapy at UFHPTI, my wife received excellent care for some required imaging and biopsy work. This was something they graciously were able to schedule for her in the few weeks we were staying in Jacksonville in Mar-Apr of this year. My wife has nothing but high praise for her care there. One morning we had an early appointment and I took a photo of the waiting room because nobody was there except my wife and I couldn't believe how nice it was.

I see you were at UFHPTI for your proton radiation. I think I mentioned that is where I had my proton radiation done for prostrate cancer. I had 30 rounds of proton May into July 2023. I had the Blue Team and Mendenhall as my R/O. Great care and teams.

I like the fact at Mayo that when you have labs and tests done in morning they are available to your doctor later in same day. My only complaint would be the ER (way to small) and parking (not enough of especially handicapped

When I first started going to Mayo Jacksonville in 2006 they only had the Davis building. Did not even have a hospital back then. Thus have been a patient and watch the enormous growth of the instiution.

My doctors are outstanding and would recommend Mayo Jacksonville to anyone close or even those coming for second opinions or wanting quality of tests and treatments they can't get elsewhere.
