Hello @bowmed and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can understand with your gleason score why a 6-month wait list doesn't seem fitting and think it is great that you are reaching out to other centers that may be able to provide you care sooner.
That said, in the event you'd like to add another to your list to explore, I have added information on Mayo Clinic's proton beam program.
- Proton Beam Therapy Program:

Where have you tried to date? Perhaps other members can offer some suggestions as well.
