Future of cancer treatment, or a pricey mistake?

CLICK HERE for the CNBC article.    It is being reported at this link that Aetna moved "in August to refuse to cover proton-beam treatment for prostate cancer."   It is also being reported here that "Blue Shield of California is dropping coverage of proton therapy for early-stage prostate cancer next month" and that "Cigna . . . is set to review their current policy of covering proton-beam therapy for prostate cancer in November."

As a man who received Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer I can answer the question posed by CNBC.  In my opinion, it is the future of cancer treatment.
