I need info on prostate cancer and side effects from treatment?!

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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The chances of survival are actually pretty good!. Prostate cancers tend to be extremely slow growing, and most men will eventually die of something else entirely- even if they opt not to have it surgically removed!. The procedures to remove the prostate have improved radically over the past decade, and most men are left quite able to function pretty normally afterwards!. The major adaption has to do with changes in how he will ejaculate, which will be different without the prostate!. The prostate produces the fluid that carries sperm out of the body, and without it, sperm will either not exit the testicles or he will experience what is called retrograde ejaculation!. In that, sperm is ejacululated upwards into the bladder!. Although he won't ejaculate, he will not be completely sterile though!. His testicles will still produce sperm, and sperm can be obtained through needle aspiration!. Obviously that's not a GP office procedure, but fertility experts and urologists can do it, and he can become a father with a little help from science!. As far as his responsiveness, most sexual response is still between the ears, and he will not lose his drive along with his prostate unless he feels "un-manned", as a rule!. Exactly what sort of treatment he requires will be determined by the stage of his cancer though!. He may have directed radiation treatments for a while after the surgery, and that will have some ill effects on him temporarily!. Those will generally go away once the radiation is finished, and those usually are mostly fatigue related- not sex drive related!. Everything else should respond pretty much as it was designed, because testosterone is not produced in the prostate- only prostate fluids!. So the main ingredients for sex life will still be present and accounted for!. Once he recovers from the surgery and treatment, he should expect to be just as active as he ever was, with the exception of the change in how he ejaculates!. He will probably feel a lot better if the urologist can put him in contact with some other men who have had the surgery done, who can reassure him in person with personal experience!. I know this all from working with patients post-op and from a couple I know!. I have it on good authority from the man's wife that EVERYTHING still works just fine, only a bit different!. As she puts it, everything but the sticky wet spot, which she doesn't miss at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
