I just wanted to add my own comment on choosing proton therapy. I was not a good candidate for a radical prostatectomy as I had a TIA in 2019, so I did a lot of research on the various radiation therapies. Proton therapy seemed to hold the most promise for minimizing radiation side effects. I had my last proton treatment over a month ago and, so far, I have had no significant side effects related to the proton therapy. The only side effects worth mentioning were due to the androgen deprivation therapy and those have been minor. I am very happy that I chose proton therapy. Good luck on your treatment.
