[PHI Redacted] After checking out several alternative treatments [PHI Redacted] decided on Proton. There are very few side effects with this treatment. Just a little red spot on one hip was the extent of [PHI Redacted] side effects. When compared with what [PHI Redacted] urologist was recommending (hormone shots and radiation) this was a breeze! Hormone shots were not necessary. At one time [PHI Redacted] PSA was 29 (after a biopsy) and now it is 2.9 and will continue to go down. [PHI Redacted] was a 7 Gleason Score. [PHI Redacted] 80 years old and am glad that did not do the "watch and wait" theory either. The treatment was great and so were the people at the Florida Proton Center. I would recommend Proton treatments for anyone with cancer.
