Make that 6
Oklahoma opened this summer bringing the number to 6 centers treating prostate. I wish everyone would do the research. I feel bad when so many guys talk about their dealing with side effects. Protons might be an option for you. It surely seems like protons have less side effects than surgery.
Talk to guys that have gone through it. Check out the Brotherhood of the Balloon. There are over 4000 members and most are willing to share their story.
I am currently undergoing treatment at Loma Linda and it really is a "radiation vacation".
Impotence and incontinence are not the norm.0 -

I would love to hear more about the current status of your proton beam radiation treatment. I'm recently diagnosed and am looking into PBT at Loma Linda but have not completely made up my mind yet. My PCa is stage T1c and I figured I would take the time to do all the research needed to feel comfortable with my decision.
Hope your treatments went well and that everything was a success.
