I had prostate cancer in 2005 and am just fine with a current psa of .13 that is point one three…. cured.. I was treated with Proton Radiation. The reason I chose proton ratiation is that it has a 90% cure rate and no side effects. It is the best possible prostate cancer treatment available today in my opinion… I was not sick one single day during or after treatments and every part of my body works just as before I had the treatments. I am not incontent nor am i impotent.. Its like I never had cancer and I am now fine. Proton Radiation is very different from conventional radiation… With Proton Radiation 85-90 % of the treatment energy is delivered exactly at the point needing to be treated… Therefore no other body tissue or organs are damaged as with conventional radiation..that is why it has no side effects..

There is a website called PROTON BOB (bob stands for brotherhood of the balloon..it is part of the treatment) . The website tells lots a bout prostate cancer and proton radiation.. If you go to the website, you and your friend both should read the Patient Testimonal Section.. You will then see what I am talking about… Any one with Prostate Cancer who has ever been treated with Proton Radiation is as sold on it as I am.. We all just hate to see people take the other treatments when such a good treatment is available…that has no side effects and such a high cure rate.There is also a new book out written by Robert J Marckini (a prostate cancer surviver) called YOU CAN BEAT PROSTATE CANCER. It can be purchased at Barnes and Noble and ebay and some other places I think.. It tells all about prostate cancer and then it tells all about all of the different treatments options available today and includes all pros and cons or side effects of each treatment.. Any one with Prostate cancer or prostate problems should read the book..especilly before deciding on a treatment type,.
Doctors have been slow to recommend Proton Radiation for several reasons, many did not know about it, or knew very little about it.. , many considered or still consider it experimental.. then there is the green dollar bill reason.. If they send the patient else where for treatment they or their hospital dont make any money.. However they are now starting to recognize Proton Radiation.. I was treated at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda California.. Loma Linda pioneered the treatment in this country 17 years ago and their success has been so great that they are now no longer being ignored.. M D Anderson in Houston Texas built a facility last year and now offers Proton treatments, Mass General in Boston, one in Jacksonville, Florida and one in Indiania currently offer it I think.. The Proton Bob website tells where its available….Just dont let some doctor who is not familiar with Proton Radiation or wants to treat you how ever he is trained ..tell you what to do..make you own decision…

To me chosing Proton Radiation is a no brainer .. the 90% cure rate and no side effects… It was like being on a ten week vacation when I had my treatments… If you would like I can locate some people in your area who have had Proton treatments who would be glad to share their experience with you.. I will be glad to talk to you myself .. just email me here on yahoo answers.. any of us (former proton radiation) would be glad to talk to you . That is how much we believe in the treatment..and why not.. just read the testimonials at PROTON Bob…..Sorry I wrote so much … but I just hate to see any one subject themselves to something bad when it is so unnessary… have a great day. Im not going to check my spelling and typos.. it disconnets me some times so here it comes bad spelling and all… Also most websites like American CAncer society etc.. will say nothing about Proton Radiaton… It is so aggravating.. they are mostly controlled with doctors and people who use other treatments.. and will not recommend it.. I think it is mostly a money thing still..very sad…Only thing I can say.. Is check with those of us who have had Proton Radiation and see what we have to say and whether or not we would do it over again.. I can tell you the universal answer will be YES!!!!! One funny thing when I was taking my treatments.. sure were lots of doctors and other medical professionals out there being treated for it with Proton Radiation.. guess it was good for them and not their patients… well there are several doctors in the testimonial section on Proton Bob.. they are catching on.. One other thing and I will finally quit.. If I were going to take the treatments, I think I would do it at Loma Linda University Medical Center again.. mainly because they have been doing it so long.. however Im sure MD Anderson or some of the others would be just fine.

My grandfather had prostate cancer

We were all shocked to find it out & no one expected it.

There was a lot of pain involved for him & he was sick from chemo He also had lots of trips to the doctor.

He took chemo and had some sort of procedure done to keep his urethra open. The latter was performed almost as regularly as his chemo.

He always valued life very much but I guess when he thought he was gonna die that yeah he took every second to live to the fullest. He moved in with us during treatment.

No. I don't think enough is done for any cure research for any disease.

No we just loved him with all our hearts like always.

I have always felt sympathy for the ill.

I hope so, but only time will tell.

Chris,

You are asking a number of very important questions. The first step in getting good answers is the identification of a doctor who is skilled in this area and can spend the time you need to go through it. Having said that …

Many variables affect post-op function, including erections. Younger men recover erections faster than older men, for example. In this, your husband has a relative advantage.

It does not always make sense to keep or take the nerves. The decision has to be made in context of a cancer decision. What stage is the cancer? What grade was found on the biopsy? Can one nerve be spared? Should both be spared? These can be considered when all the details are known.

The "robot" is nothing but a distraction. In other words, what gizmo the surgeon uses is practically irrelevant. You might want to listen to the two interviews linked below, especially the Prostate Net one on robotic prostate surgery.

What truly matters is this: who is the surgeon? A good surgeon knows which tools to use to get the job done. To help you find the good surgeon, ask about his experience, focus, commitment. Talk with his other patients. If he won't introduce you, that's a red flag all by itself.

You're already doing a lot for your husband. Women so often do. Ask questions, share what you find, and just be there.
