Successes at Loma Linda

I received a DVD copy of the festivities that were held in October at Loma Linda to honor the 20th anniversary of the proton center there.
During the remarks, a woman from Tennessee spoke about her experience with breast cancer. She had gone through surgery to remove a lump in her breast and was facing 2 months of chemo, 6 months of conventional radiation and 5 years of medications. After contacting Loma Linda, she was able to receive 10 proton treatments and she is now cancer free.
A man spoke of his experience with protons 12 years ago. He had a PSA of 61 and a Gleason score of 10. His urologist told him there was nothing he could do. He contacted Loma Linda and after 44 proton treatments, he is cancer free.
Another man was recognized for having the highest PSA of anyone in the Brotherhood of the Balloon. 10 years ago he presented with a 436 PSA and today after proton beam therapy it is 0.04.
Truly amazing treatment.

Have a good Monday.

First Grandchild Born to Proton Patient

About a year ago a family contacted me after finding my blog. Their father had gone through surgery to treat his prostate cancer 6 months previous. The cancer had come back and they were looking for options for him. They had real desperation in their voice. I was able to put them in contact with my doctor and the gentleman was treated with proton beam therapy this past summer.
I received word and pictures last week of his first grandson. This was such a God story that I am rejoicing with the family as they now have hope. God has a way of taking hopeless situations and making good out of them.

Have a good Wednesday.
Blessings,
Rick
