“Now, it has been 3 years since the final treatment. I still feel great and I am thankful for it. My recent check showed my PSA at 0.2. I guess you can't get much better than that.”

Don Butler - Yuba City, California

Treated 1999 · Posted 2003 

“I feel like my guardian angel has been looking after me during the whole procedure.”

On February 9, 1999 I had my annual checkup and was told everything looked good except for my PSA, which was 5.9. My family doctor referred me to a urologist who said my prostate felt fine - no lumps or bumps, but to be on the safe side I should have a biopsy. Bad news. The biopsy showed cancer.

He talked to my wife and me for about an hour regarding my different options for treatment. None of them were Proton beam!
