Frank's wife discovered First Dayton CyberKnife while researching prostate cancer treatment options on the Internet. Frank says, "I was surprised the doctors I had already seen didn't tell me about this option. I was kind of disappointed, but as a businessman I understand they aren't going to promote something they don't do." The CyberKnife treatment is only offered at one cancer center in Dayton.
Once Frank did the research and discovered The American Society for Radiation Oncology has published many clinical studies supporting the effectiveness and safety of CyberKnife treatment for prostate cancer, he was all in. The most recent study, with six years of follow-up, proves the CyberKnife radiosurgery kills cancer faster, with less radiation and better cancer control rates, than ordinary radiation treatment or surgery. And the best part was proven fewer side effects. Patients who had treatment five to 10 years ago still had few, if any, side effects. Studies prove that men treated with the CyberKnife have the best quality of life over men who had other treatments for their prostate cancer.
Frank says, "After learning about the CyberKnife and talking with Dr. Ed Hughes, I knew I had made the right decision. I can't believe anyone would choose anything else. It was so easy. I didn't feel a thing during treatment. Most days I napped during the short time I laid there. I could even listen to my own music which helped me to relax." Frank had five treatments at First Dayton CyberKnife in March of 2012. His treatments took only one week. "It has been over two years since I had treatment and I still don't have any complaints. I wish more men knew about this treatment option. I am glad my wife found it, and I don't have cancer anymore. People need to do their homework to learn what is best for them."
