Gleason7(3+4) - treatment options recommendation

I spoke with 4 radiation oncologists in Florida (plus one in NY city) that had experience with the MRIdian.

I was treated by Dr. Kaitlin Christopherson at the Orlando Cancer center, which is part of the Orlando Health Hospital system. They have both the Mridian and Proton therapy available. The Mridian machine is in Ocoee and their Proton machine is in Downtown Orlando.

I also spoke with the Moffit cancer center, whose vice chairman told me that if I was interested in potentially utilizing the adaptive dynamic planning capability of the MRIdian that I should go some place else, which I did.

I also spoke with the Miami Cancer institute and chose them as a second choice for treatment with the MRIdian. They also had an on site hotel for convenience of treatment.

All the Florida radiation oncologists that I spoke with were trained and/or had practical experience at centers of excellence as well as the MRIdian machine.

Any more questions, please feel to ask or private message me if you need more details behind the nuts and bolts of the experience.

Thanks. I'm in Fort Lauderdale so Miami is close, although Orlando isn't that far. Is Miami Cancer Institute part of UM or Baptist Health? I like the idea of someplace that has both proton and MRIadian to compare.
