A good friend here in the Villages chose " proton therapy " which worked very well .
It does less damage to healthy tissue than radiation . He had prostate cancer .
The treatments worked and he has been cancer free now for over a year .
However the treatments required a lot of trips to Jacksonville over a 6 week period of time .
I understand that there this form of treatment is now available in Orlando .
