Can Proton Beam Therapy be used when prostate cancer has spread?

JC76 !
My did was Curtis Bryant. I’m convinced they added years to my life. And side effects so far are really nothing. Soooooo glad I went to UFHPTI. They are top notch. I was on the Blue gantry and Taylor, Brianna, Dominique, elizabeth, and Librado gave me the best care I’ve ever received.
On my lymph nodes there was no biopsy - I was trying to say that my original prostate biopsy missed my cancer in the prostate. The later fusion biopsy did find it. And then the PETSCAN at UFHPTI revealed the cancer activity in my lymph nodes.
Tomorrow is my last day and I get to ring the chimes and head home.

Wow, we had same gantry and techs. They were great as you mentioned. I have my first follow up appt. with Dr. Mendenhall on October 4th. If you can, let me know what your first PSA is at your 3 month mark. Where is home (no address just city).
UFPTI is the one who wanted a PETSCAN I think called PSMA. No lymph or spread from prostrate I was very lucky.
I can still picture the dressing rooms, and that bathroom right there that I used every time after drinking the water. I have tried to relate the experience there to others especially the waiting area and treatment rooms.
Do you remember seeing all those children rooms on the left when walking out? I was really sad to see that but what a great facility for them.
Keep in touch.
