Upchurch and Betty Sue live in South Carolina, USA. He was 69 when he was diagnosed
on February 9, 2009. His initial PSA was 5.0 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 3+4
= 7 and he was staged T1c. His choice of treatment was Proton Beam . Here is his
story.
I spent time with a Robotic Surgeon, an Open Surgeon, a Radiologist
Oncologist, a Brachytherapy/IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) clinic
urologist at Radiation College of Georgia and decided on Proton Beam at University
of Florida Proton Beam Center in Jacksonville.
My initial consultation

will be May 13th - scheduled for 41.
