You may wonder if there is any relationship with protons, prostate cancer and genealogy. There is! If prostate cancer is found in a family, the odds go up for additional cases. The chances are already one in six that a male will develop the disease in his lifetime, and if another family member has it, these odds go up tremendously! That is the genealogical connection.
Proton Beam Therapy will eventually become the new "platinum standard" for treatment of prostate cancer and other forms of the disease.
The primary book is on Proton Beam Radiation therapy. The title is "Prostate Cancer Meets The Proton Beam ~ A Patients Experience." It provides information regarding Proton Beam Therapy for cancer treatment, and details my relevant experiences. The book contains a Foreword by Robert J. Marckini, author of "You Can Beat Prostate Cancer." This book is available as 6 x 9 Soft Cover .

Print: $14.95 Proton Beam Therapy is an advanced cancer treatment based on the elegant physics of the proton. It is not well known, because there are currently only five hospitals in the U.S. that have the complex equipment to administer it. Protons have been used for cancer treatment in the U. S. since 1990 with success comparable to all other options, but with minimal side effects. This treatment is FDA approved and may be used for prostate and many other cancers if not metastasized. This book provides the author’s experiences in dealing with the shock of cancer diagnosis, and in searching for a treatment. The book contains valuable information about becoming an informed patient. It includes a synopsis of the major treatment alternatives, and a detailed description of proton beam therapy. Robert J. Marckini, author of “You Can Beat Prostate Cancer…” says: “ Prostate Cancer Meets The Proton Beam is a nuts-and-bolts journal for the prostate cancer victim, as well as his spouse and family members.”

Download: $1.95 This e-book is a condensed version of the book “Prostate Cancer And The Proton Beam …,” which is available in print from Lulu.com and other on-line booksellers.
Proton Beam Therapy is advanced cancer treatment that is not well known. It is not widely recommended by the medical community because there are currently only five hospitals in the U.S. that have the extremely expensive and complex equipment to administer it. Proton Beam Therapy has been used in the United States since 1990 with success comparable to all other options, but this non-invasive treatment has minimal side effects. It may be beneficial for many other cancers so long as the disease has not metastasized, and even then it may help when used with other treatments. Medicare and most insurance companies provide coverage.
This book details the author’s experiences with diagnosis, searching for a treatment, and proton therapy for prostate cancer at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
