I would like to address the issue of discontinued
coverage for Proton Beam Therapy for Prostate
Cancer. I believe it would be a disservice to men
diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. [PHI Redacted] was diagnosed
with Prostate Cancer in [PHI Redacted]. After extensive
research on the available treatments [PHI Redacted] chose
Proton Beam Therapy. There have been studies
showing the effectiveness of the treatment and the
quality of life post treatment.
In [PHI Redacted] case quality of life was very important.
Since receiving the treatments [PHI Redacted] cancer seems to
be gone. [PHI Redacted] experienced NO side effects. There
was no pain, no incontinence, no bladder or rectal
bleeding, no impotence.
The only evidence that points to [PHI Redacted] receiving
Proton Beam Therapy is [PHI Redacted] PSA test results and [PHI Redacted]
personal Physicians reports which show the cancer
is gone.
