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.

This blog is about my personal journey through Prostate Cancer Therapy at the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute in Jacksonville

How to read the blog

Thanks for dropping by the blog,  Proton Therapy For Prostate Cancer.

The blog is basically complete.  We have the home page and 19 stand-alone pages with different titles as shown across the top of any page. The only page that will continue to be updated is the Post Treatment page.

I have broken the Phase 3: Treatment x-x up into four pages.  All 39 treatments were completed by June 11, 2013.

If you are sensitive to the human body with its parts and functions, you might not should be here at all.

John Cassenti finished his treatment since I have been at UFPTI.  He works for Channel 4 and they did a video news piece on his treatment.
