Patsy,

It looks like there are only 3 places in the US to get this treatment. It seems like pretty good stuff. On the "no chemo" issue, and I'm only speculating here, they seem to be in the early stages of treating cancers other than prostate. Gary, any thoughts? The chemo might make it difficult to track the effectiveness of the treatment. I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT THEY ARE RISKING HIS LIFE. Personally, I would be happy to go for post radiation chemo if I could have less injurious treatment. Bottom line is that you need to educate yourself, meet the doctors, review the treatment options and make the choice you are most comfortable with. And, unfortunately, the financial impact of being treated in another city enters into the decision.
