I had my prostate removed then a reoccurrenc. I was told it was bladder cancer and scheduled for radiation because as I was told, Proton is not for the bladder. Sent my info to a Proton place . It was a reoccurrence . Had Proton 6 years ago . No side effects . The techs that cared for me were the Best and they were a major force in my still being here. I was a Gleason 9 at the time of surgery. I had 41 Proton treatments and drove to every appointment . The drive was 165 miles each way every day 16,500miles in 41 days. GET IT DONE ! Change your diet ! There are foods that fight cancer. Ask your Proton nurse for help and suggestion. Get it done ,.
