PROTON THERPAY

HELLO, It has been a week or so since i posted. Haver feverously been reading, studying and praying.
Have read alot about Proton Therapy. Loma Linda, CA. seems to be the most experienced at this type of radiation. M.D. Anderson just opened up a new facility this JUNE. Does anybody have any input on this treatment. Does a young (52 years old) man qualify for this treatment? I have heard radiation therapy is not for the younger PC patient. I think this type of radiation hits the cancer and does not hurt the surrounding tissue? Any thoughts or experience with this Proton Therapy.

Thanks,
