The older I get, the faster time whizzes by. I often forget that my Prostate was a \u201cCancer\u201d problem and that Loma Linda Proton treatment was the answer in 1999.<\/p>\n
Since then I have managed to pass a test with M D Anderson Cancer Center for \u201cCancer of the Tongue\u201d. This experience began in April 2011 and while I finished Radiation and Chemo in May 2011, the beat goes on as the experts at MD Anderson look forward to a five year success story. In fact I will be at their site on July 31st, 2013 for a follow-up.<\/p>\n
I visited my Texas Urologist last week and he told me that everything was fine and sent me on my way after a routine visit.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, I continue to hear stories like this one: <\/p>\n
“A co-worker of mine in Atlanta relayed this story, which is a stark reminder of how stuck in the mud some doctors are on the topic of Protons. After being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, my co-worker started working on a treatment plan with his Urologist. After learning and researching information about Proton Therapy, my co-worker raised this as an option with his doctor. His doctor became very flustered and questioned his patient’s faith in him. A few minutes later the doctor “fired” my co-worker as a patient, and said he was no longer willing to work with him on his treatment plan. Incredible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I can\u2019t wait to hear about Protons and the impact they will have as more \u201cProton\u201d facilities are built in the USA and their utilization increases. Amazing that a thirty minute drive from my home will take me to a new Proton facility soon.
\nDallas is constructing a Proton Facility.<\/p>\nThank you for reading. Keep looking at the many \u201cVideos\u201d on this site \u2013 I always learn a lot from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
