[PHI Redacted] a successful proton radiation receipient that was treated for prostate cancer several years ago. [PHI Redacted]

The overwhelming majority of that evidence was that other treatment methods could cure the prostate cancer, BUT, and there always seemed to be a BUT, the issue of side effects would surface. Either some level of incontinence or sexual function issue was part of the conversation. [PHI Redacted] that was all the evidence needed to decide to use proton therapy which had almost no side effect issues [PHI Redacted]

Since having proton treatment, [PHI Redacted] have not had any issues of side effects limiting lifestyle in any way. [PHI Redacted] also free of prostate cancer according to doctors. [PHI Redacted] very satisfied with proton treatment. I hope that it will still be available for men who need Medicare to pay its cost.
