Welcome "ourspot384, who says:

"I was recommended here by Anita K. I have decided on PBT and will go
to UFPTI. I'm grateful she recommended this site. I look forward to
being a part of this important community."

Welcome! What would you like us to call you? Please provide a first
name. Tell us about yourself, PSA, Gleason, age, and how you found
proton therapy. It would be good to know where you are city and state.

Congrats on your choice. When do you start treatment? We have
several "graduates' of UFPTI here.


And thanks Anita for recommending us.

Fuller

Craig, My understanding is that Medicare pays 80 percent, and the "supplemental" or "secondary" pays 20 percent. At least that is what mine did. I am NOT an...
