metastatic prostate cancer and proton therapy plus hormone treatment

Posted by tojo @tojo, Mar 18 9:34pm

I have been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer which apparently involves 3 nodes near my prostate as seen on a psma petscan. Has anyone had luck with proton beam treatment vs traditional photon radiation?
Any side affects from the proton therapy ?
Long term side affects from hormone therapy?

Thanks.
Tojo
