Focal Therapy?
Thanks so much to those of you who shared your stories and advice. I had good news is that my MRI indicated that the cancer is contained to my prostate, though it is quite enlarged. The bone scan showed some abnormality in the upper part of the spine, so I am scheduled for an MRI of that area this Thursday

Proton beam vs. x-ray therapy
I posted the following message in the Advanced Prostate Cancer group, but I think it is of even more interest to patients who are newly diagnosed and not yet treated, so I'm posting it again here. -------------------------------------------------------------- I was lucky enough to be recommended by Darryl

Proton beam vs. x-ray therapy
I was lucky enough to be recommended by Darryl and Malecare (thank you for that) to participate as a "consumer reviewer" for the "Department of Defense, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, Prostate Cancer Research Program". There were about 15 scientists, mainly professors of medicine

Should I consider Proton Therapy
I am 75 and otherwise in good shape, I had Radical Prostatectomy in 2015 now 2 years and 3 months later my PSA has been rising, presently on Hormone meds (Casodex) to reduce PSA then should I go with Radiation or the much greater expense (for lodging etc) and have Proton-therapy 350 miles away? Comments

Proton Therapy
I'm here looking for encouragement and knowledge My dad has prostate cancer, he was diagnosed in 2011, They told him since day one he did not have many options because his cancer was extremely aggressive. We looked alternative treatments and we found immunotherapy. He is still doing that and he did HIFU

Coverage of Proton Beam Therapy
Does Medicare cover proton beam therapy? Do private insurance companies cover it, or does this vary from insurance company to insurance company?

one year post Proton Therapy At University of Maryland Proton Center
OMG it was the best treatment for me. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who qualify. The consult is free. If you have medicare, it's covered. I strongly advise seeking it as one of your options before making a decision. I found out about Proton therapy from the group. I don't remember the guys

Newly diagnosed (liposarcoma) and starting treatment (doxorubicin) on Monday
Hi Everyone I came to the Centre last week for the Living Well course. It was great. We are very fortunate. The histology has now confirmed that I have a retro-peritoneal lipo-sarcoma which is not operable and I am due to start on doxorubicin on Monday. Things are moving fast and I think thats best

Radiation as a first-line treatment
I was diagnosed with Gleason 3+4 PCa in 2007. The two options that were recommended to me were robotic assisted radical prostatectomy or radiation. The surgeon that I consulted did not leave me with a feeling of confidence, and I also consulted with a radiation oncologist who recommended IMRT. I went
