I'm 65 and I am in excellent health. I live in Northern Wisconsin summers and winter in Scottsdale 6 mo out of the year. Been staying up North going thru my Biopsy and Pet scan... Meet with a surgeon tomorrow. I also contacted Mayo Scottsdale and may decide to go down. there for a second opinion. Mayo Rochester MN is about 5 hours from me. If I go the Mayo route I could have their care where ever I am. (that's a plus). I believe the survival rates are equal with both proton therapy and RProstectomy. I'll know more tomorrow.
