This article was written 4 years ago, so has there been an increase in facilities. What's the chance my husband with a brain stem tumor could get the treatment ASAP... he is dizzy. Lots of numbness. He seems to be a candidate. How do we get treated?

My son had proton radiation in Bloomington IN. I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for proton radiation!!

My 25 year old son was diagnosed with Medulloblastom and underwent 2 surgeries to remove the tumor. He just finished 30 treatments at the University of Florida Proton Facility in Jacksonville.Side effects were almost nonexistent and his blood counts were always good. We will now start 40 weeks of chemo in our hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia.

More readily available and less expensive.
Radio frequencies resonate with oscillations of cancer cells, gradually increased to distort and ultimately disintegrate the unhealthy prolific cells.
Various frequencies depending on type of cancer.
Research and apply yourself. Please review

Proton therapy is exciting but cost is the issue here.
Prostate cancer patients need to subsidise it.
I wonder if it is widely available in the UK (bearing in mind we have an NHS).

We need to tackle this unavailability issue as strongly as we tackled the A.I.D.S. epidemic. We can do this with nationwide and even worldwide funraising events. We need grants for the building costs and this therapy can be made available to all income levels.

A pet scan lit up showing not too strong a positive for cancer but not negative. If in fact a biopsy proves positive would proton therapy be available?

I have a friend with MS who has nodules on her thyroid and they are talking about surgery. I was wondering if proton therapy could be an option for her.
