    Hi Cooldady,

    I had my surgery at University Hospital in Cleveland. My Surgeon’s name was Dr. Lee Ponsky and came very highly recommended by my Internal medicine doctor. Still satisfied with the results and have been testing less than .1 since 2014. If you want to go the radiation route University Hospital has a Proton radiation machine that has a fixed focal length beam that does not go through your body like Cyberknife does. The beam stops right at the tumor, thus minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and organs. Another great hospital network practically right across the street the Cleveland Clinic which has similar equipment and qualified doctors. Both are top notch in my book. But you have to remember no two cases are the same neither are the results. Need to discuss with your doctor team what is the best method of treatment for you.
