Is the MD Anderson Proton Center located in Jacksonville Florida? I had my proton radiation done at UFHPTI.

Have you gone through simulation at MD Anderson. That is where the do a dry run for setting up your treatments. At UFHPT they have a specific bed for each patient and is molded to you during simulation. They will have you drink 16 ounces of water 30 minutes prior to simulation and then take low dose xrays and CTs to look at your bladder. If they need to lower or raise they amount of water you drink prior to treatments this is one of the test done.

At UFHPTI you are required to come in 30 minutes prior to your reservation. At that time you have to drink the amount of water they instructed you to drink. The 30 minutes is to allow the water to from stomach to get into bladder. I liked this as you don't have to drink water prior to coming and try to drive with a full bladder, etc.
