2010 Loma Linda Hospital for 2.5 months with proton radiation. Gleason 3 plus 3; PSA: 6.47
The diagnosis was slow-growing cancer. I had two biopsies that were identical in results in terms of location and Gleason score. Never had any issues, in fact, I stayed at March AFB and played racquetball normally each afternoon. My sessions were early in the morning around 730am. Usually, there were five or six men awaiting their radiation on three "machines". Our conversations were limited, but I would say about 60% or more were doctors. That fact alone reinforced my solo decision to undertake proton radiation therapy. Because of the cost of housing for nearly three months, many select other options. But, given the right criteria and prostate cancer condition(s), proton radiation is the best option. RH/Florida
