I have a consultation at ProCure on Novembet 25th, will have a CT scan done, hopefully no contrast. They said I can start as early as the 1st or 2nd week of December, but depends if more tests are needed, I guess chemo plan too.

ProCure in New Jersey is the only Proton Therapy Treatment Center in the metro area, only 11 are in the U.S. Apparently it's a joint ventureship with a number of top hospitals in NYC..Continuum Health Care Centers, Mt. Sinai, NYU, New York Presbyterian, and MSKCC. I was wondering how my hospital has a doctor working there.

I guess I'll make another post under Proton Therapy to continue the discussion. I looked into many treatments, but I never bothered with Proton therapy, figuring I would never have it done due to location limitations.
