Update on MRI Results.

Consulted with Emory Proton Beam Therapy R/O on the 4th. I was extremely impressed with the facility and staff. It is in downtown Atlanta about 1:15 drive in traffic.

Including new MRI data, R/O concurs with intermediate unfavorable diagnosis and recommends treatment.
He ordered a PET PSMA for more info.
Meeting again with the Urologist/surgeon on 20th.
Heavily favoring the Proton Beam Therapy vs surgery at this point. Space OAR and fiducial marker to be used. MRI and CT used before simulation. 28 treatment sessions. Six weeks ADP , recommended, I will decline hormones.

EPBT financial rep called the next day to inform me that Medicare will cover 80% and my Supplement will cover the other 20% less deductible, which means virtually $0 out of pocket.
