Most men get prostate cancer. My dad has it and had his prostate removed then had proton radiation. He had proton radiation because a little bit of cancer was left in him from the biopsy. He is doing good. It's been a year since they removed his prostate and it's been 6 months since they finishes his Proton radiation.
