Proton therapy is an advanced and highly precise form of radiation treatment. It allows doctors to focus radiation directly into the tumor, reducing radiation to healthy tissue and the risk of side effects. Proton therapy is an excellent treatment for pediatric cancers and cancers of the prostate, brain and more.

I pray that I'll be eligible for this treatment for my breast cancer, pathology report will soon tell. I also want to see my kids grow up and enjoy a long life. So encouraging to hear Aimes's journey💗
I have a tele-health meeting scheduled with Dr. Chen in two weeks. My hip was replaced, titanium stem, ceramic head, cross linked poly. Is proton therapy still possible?
excellent video I am meeting with my doctor for the first time I had a Gleason 7 out of One of the 12 cores biopsied that were taken by my urologist and I'm a pretty thin guy. The cancer was found on Core 9. Do you know if they numb the area where the Hydro gel is given and is it more difficult to sit while going through your treatment having the Hydro gel inside?
Did you look at metabolic therapy? This is something doctors actively ignore and aren’t taught. I learned about terrain theory in jr. high. I think it fits cancer better than the disease theory which is the current basis for treatment in “standard of care”. Look at the work of Thomas Seyfried. Cancer needs glucose and glutamine, and is harmed by oxygen. I’m very concerned about the amount of exposure during proton therapy.
