Any kid that sick tears me up almost instantly. To each person, their cancer is the worst cancer, but now that I'm on the other side of it I can look back and say "wow, that could have been a lot worse" and I know it could have been - but even at it's worse it's better than a lot of other cancers out there.

I went to UFHPTI (University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute) for my proton radiation prostate treatments. Mayo Jacksonville did not offer proton only photon but are building a new cancer center that will offer proton radiation in 2026

UFHPTI is a huge facility built back in 2006 and just went through complete update with all gantries (five of them) to latest proton equipment. It is like being in Star Wars.

They have 5 gantries. The majority of patients are children. The hallway has 5 gantries, changing rooms, bathrooms, on one side and the other side are special holding and pre/post treatment rooms for children.

I was told so many children there as they try to use proton radiation to limit the amount of radiation damage to surrounding organs and tissues as children live so much longer than adults and chances from secondary cancers from radiation would be much higher.

All those shaved heads I saw every day really depressed me but then I thought they are getting outstanding care from a medical facility that has been doing proton radiation since 2006 and has patients from almost every state and hundreds of countries coming there.
