Science is great. Loma Linda was as I understand it was a pioneer in proton radiation therapy..If I recall correctly, it was 1993 or so the multi-million dollar "machine" was built.

My last day there..a "brotherhood of balloon" kind of get together..there were nearly 100 people in a audience who went thru the process. The moderator began by asking.."who had a PSA over 200?" Two hands went up..then finally down to "who has PSA over 20?" and most of the rest of the men there raised their hands. All raised their hands when asked if their PSA was under one (1). Many lives were saved. I might add..just after treatment, I went to Uganda to train a select battalion of Ugandan soldiers who were headed to Somalia. That was the last of my deployments both as US Army Officer and DOD contractor. Happy Holidays..

Science and the amazing folks who develop these techniques and the necessary equipment... blessings. People have great potential to most problems given the time and educations to perform.
Merry Christmas and may 2023 be Bountiful and Healthy!
