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.
