@tjmayo I believe you did Proton Therapy with a testosterone reducing drug. I’m 58 newly diagnosed 4-3s and 3-4s Gleason 7. Urologist is a radical prostate removal professional. I have read much on Proton and its benefits over photon. Without getting into all the other details, what has been your experience. Would you recommend. While I worry about the cancer, it’s the quality of life that seems to weigh on me more. Wearing diapers, incogotence, Ed. Etc. just wanted an opinion

@bdouglas67
I am two years out from proton therapy treatment at the UFH Proton center in JAX, Fl.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND proton therapy. I had Gleason 8 PC which had metastisized to 7 lymph nodes. Today I am cancer free and my PSA is 0.0.
No urinary problems and my sexual function has returned.
If you inquire at UfH proton, they will send you a complete packet, and you can visit them for a free assessment.
I am VERY happy with the choice I made.
