Proton treatment for prostate cancer

[PHI Redacted] I cannot express strongly enough my belief that it should continue to be covered.

[PHI Redacted] had zero side-effects from the treatment (unlike many of my associates who have suffered from incontinence and impotence after both surgery and seed implant treatments). Quality of life is something that is impossible to measure. Since treatment [PHI Redacted] PSA has remained at 0.1 and follow-up exams show no evidence of any problems.

In fact, my Family Doctor has stated that he will absolutely have the same treatment should he develop prostate cancer.

As a side note - [PHI Redacted] decision to have Proton Treatment was not made due to financial considerations but due to word-of-mouth research [PHI Redacted] did with others who had had all types of treatment and Protons were the overwhelming winner for both lack of side effects and long- term prognosis.
