Hi. Thanks for your concern.

I am very early in the triage process, with elevated total PSA of 5.7, free PSA 8%, negative DRE, and an MRI scan scheduled in early Feb.

My interest in proton beam therapy at this stage is building background on modern treatment modalities, side effects, and best in class treatment locations.
