Dear Sirs,

When an [PHI Redacted] associate told me of his complete cure for his prostate cancer by Proton radiation, as a professional mechanical engineer and holder of seventy-nine United States patents, I am of course interested in anything technical.

Although my innovations are in the transportation field rather than the medical field, I was fascinated by my friend’s immediate and complete recovery, with absolutely no side effects. Years later [PHI Redacted] was told had prostate cancer, level Gleason 9. [PHI Redacted] urologist, who had seen [PHI Redacted] regularly every six months for the previous 20 years (but didn’t detect prostate cancer until it had progressed to Gleason 9) suggested radical surgery.

While waiting admission for Proton radiation, [PHI Redacted] checked with the group in Seattle who are supposed to be the leaders in the implantation of radioactive “seeds” in the prostate gland. Because [PHI Redacted] cancer had progressed to Gleason 9, the Seattle group advised that was beyond the stage of prostate cancer that was treatable by their seed technique.

As you can imagine, I recommend Proton treatment to anyone I meet who has prostate cancer.

Many come up with stories they learn from practitioners of other corrective measures. Most recently a lifelong friend told me he wouldn’t consider Proton radiation because he “wouldn’t want a catheter inserted for months in his urinary canal”, and that he feared the “incontinence rendered by Proton radiation”.

[PHI Redacted] completed Proton treatment about five years ago. I never even heard the word catheter. [PHI Redacted] drove pickup truck 70 miles for each Proton treatment and drove it 70 miles home,[PHI Redacted] of course, then drove farm tractor each day after returning from treatment. ([PHI Redacted] had retired from the engineering profession.) [PHI Redacted] never once suffered from incontinence. [PHI Redacted] PSA is 0.02 and current urologist ([PHI Redacted] changed urologists, of course) now refuses to give further PSA tests because of age and low PSA readings.

[PHI Redacted] only discomfort between the time [PHI Redacted] learned of prostate cancer and today,[PHI Redacted], are the hot flashes due to the Lupron hormone shots that [PHI Redacted] previous urologist gave without telling me about the side effects. Curiously, the hot flashes were accidentally cured by another medication prescribed by family doctor for a completely unrelated purpose.

[PHI Redacted]based on my personal contact with many other Proton radiation devotees, our preference is due to the precision by which Proton radiation can be controlled, not only by area, but by depth. In [PHI Redacted] case never experienced even the slightest pain and totally free of any side effects (except the hot flashes [PHI Redacted] experienced before Proton treatment). I could never recommend any other type of treatment for prostate cancer.
