You can beat Prostate Cancer, And you don’t need surgery to do it, by Robert Marckini

You can beat Prostate Cancer, And you don’t need surgery to do it, by Robert Marckini. Buy this book, read this book, it will take you 2 to 3 hours. (Bob is working on an updated version). It will just open your eyes to get yourself the best care for you.

Sunday morning I woke up and the book was in my nightstand, almost calling my name, like the heart under the floor boards in tell tale heart. I spoke with my wife and said I need to read it, so I took it to the office at work, where there were no distractions.

The first third of the book brought back all my anxieties, it was awful, why would someone recommend this book, but I was given strict instructions, to read it page by page, chapter by chapter and call back after I had finished the book. Half way through the book I was seeing the light, I was ready to start the process. The second half of the book is informative, it helps you understand there may be a fight coming to get help (the book is over ten years old, so I think there is more acceptance of this procedure now than before) This is the point where you are thankful there are rich people willing to spend their own money on experimental procedures, so they can eventually become available to us, and health care providers will approve them.


Monday August 19th has been crazy. So far I have been in contact with Charles, my uncle, another uncle who is a retired radiologist, Bob Marckini, the author, and a physicist who help build the proton facility at Loma Linda (this is where Charles and Bob Marckini had their procedures done). I’m waiting to hear back from a radiologist from UVa who uses, IMRT radiation and a product called SpaceOAR (Organs at Risk) gel which helps protect the rectum from radiation, and through all my family’s relationship at Massey I have a connection there and waiting to hear back from them as well. Today could be the most optimistic I’ve been. I’m also waiting to hear back from a patient from the Hampton Proton Therapy Center, who’s son has kids in school with my kids.

The world keeps shrinking. Charles and I spoke and he will be happy to meet with me in Atlanta next week, along with my uncle and my wife to view the atlanta facility. There really is a brotherhood/fraternity.
