I concur about using these resources, with one caveat. The PCF (Prostate Cancer Foundation) guide seems (to me) to have a bias against Proton Beam Therapy. They label it “experimental”.
It’s my impression that PBT may be a very effective focused treatment for prostate cancer metastases; minimizing ancillary damage from traditional radiation.
Some resources regarding metastasized prostate cancer the Prostate Cancer Research Institute:
Advanced Prostate Cancer Support Group Leader:


16 Years Surviving Metastatic Prostate Cancer:

Overview Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatments

One of the things to remember with Prostate Cancer is that diagnostic tools and treatments are evolving rapidly. Since my own diagnosis 11/2019 and PBT treatment 01/2020 the new PSMA pet scans have been approved and new treatment regimes. Perhaps I am optimistic, but I would say that where we are now is not where we will be in two years time.

There are many resources when trying to determine what to do.

That's good news, lots of information...the flip side, overload, conflicting...

The Kwon videos are useful too though I have seen people disagree, too include his peers.
