Upcoming Radiation: Any advice about process, prep, time commitment?

@jeffmarc Thanks. “Hoping” just meant I hope I qualify this time. For a previous cancer I didn’t qualify (per my insurance). I’m meeting with the radiation doc at Mayo next week to discuss all options. I appreciate the advice. In today’s world we have to advocate for ourselves and research every option thoroughly.

@bwparker Unless you have classic Medicare it is unlikely your insurance (including Medicare Advantage) will approve of Proton for prostate cancer. Supplement has to make copays etc. if Medicare pays. You may be able to get an exception since insurance denials are cost based and I heard on this board that Mayo charges the same.
