My experience is that institutions which offer Proton treatment generally say that it’s superior. Institutions without Proton capability generally say Protons and Photons are equally effective. I chose Photons, mainly because the nearest Proton treatment is 300 miles away and I didn’t want to move to another city for 10 weeks. If Proton treatment had been available closer to home, I would have chosen it on the theory that, while I don’t know enough to judge, I’ve heard no one say Protons are inferior …only equal to or better than Photons.

I finished 37 Photon treatments and 5 months of Orgovyx a few weeks ago. My testosterone is 68 and my PSA is undetectable (but I also had a prostatectomy). Only effect from the radiation and hormones is frequent night time urination which seems to be improving.
