Starting Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer: Any experiences?

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!

Three years after, have you no regrets for opting out ADT (hormone therapy)? As you expected, and I expect as well?

I am at the stage where all i know is that I have prostate cancer and am scheduled for a biopsy. Reading the comments from the group are so helpul. So what my eary question is relates to a better understanding of proton therapy verses hormone. naturally, i want to make the best decision which will be basd on which procedure will be the most effective. That is where I am right now, and look forwrd to your experiences.
