New to this community. Just received prostate cancer diagnosis with 4+3 Gleason score.
Trying to decide course of action. Leaning toward proton therapy. Cancer is currently contained. So much info to process. It is overwhelming.

Hashimoto thyroiditis how do you tell?
Hi all, can anyone tell me you know if you have Hashimoto thyroiditis? I've never been told which I have. However, I got mine from cancer treatment so I had proton therapy to my neck and I got hypothyroidism as a side effect.

Does Proton Beam therapy have any proven advantages.
Anyone have experience with Proton therapy...? The Dizzying array of radiation techniques out there promising to minimize SE's and providing more accuracy becomes overwhelming whether it be Stereo Tactic, Image Guided...etc..etc. Proton Beam is rather new in the field.... comments? Experiences??

Since being approved last July how many of you guys are in this scenario ? While my PSA was shooting through the roof in terms of doubling .08 in September when we caught it after Proton therapy and becoming partially castrate resistant to 3.95 in January it took Xtandi/ Lupron15 days to knock it to

ADT or Not?
I am new here. I am 60 years old and work full time as an engineer. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last August and set on Proton therapy. The doctor recommends ADT for 3-6 months prior to, and during my proton treatments, and says it will increase effectivity by 20-25%. But I am reading horror

Help! Any experiences with Ozurdex implant?
Hi! Sorry if this is a long post, I'm new! Bit of back story; few years ago I was diagnosed with eye cancer and received proton beam therapy treatment for it. This worked excellent and killed off the tumour! As expected I've now begin to lose my central vision due to a bleed cause by radiation damage

Confused! Need Information & Guidance
Prior to Proton Beam therapy, my SO’s RO prescribed a PET scan which has revealed possibly cancerous lesions in neck & rib. He already has 2 cancerous lymph nodes near prostate. (SO had Cryo after diagnosis 8 yrs ago but recent PET did not show any PCa there). So Proton was abandoned. RO says he could
