Go with local prostectomy surgeon or pursue big center 2.5 hours away

@fritzo We only have one proton center in central Virginia. My buddy drove and hour and a half each way for 50 days of treatment. If it would have prevented the radiation proctitis I am experiencing a year after radiation I would view it as a bargain.

Yeah, so hard. I'm not 100 percent thinking surgery based on my Decipher test result of .61. that just came in yesterday. But, if I have recurrence, than proton sounds like it should be my salvage treatment of choice (suspect it would be combined with hormone therapy based on my Decipher test result). Thanks for the good advice and so sorry you're going through the proctitis.
