DesertRat as I have posted elsewhere Mayo Scottsdale treated my Gleason 10 and did a fine job. A C11 scan ensured there is no residual cancer anywhere. May I ask why you opted out of Lupron? Was it recommended by Mayo to do so?

Hello,
I opted not to do hormone therapy because of the temporary side effects and because my radiation oncologist said that proton therapy studies at the university of Florida have shown to be very effective. He was very objective about different treatment options, I thought I am hoping not to regret my decision!
