Proton Therapy

Lots of parents and friends casually ask what our son does for a living. I tell them he is in cancer research and therapy. If they are more interested than that, I tell them that he puts together proton therapy units for a Belgian company. Proton Therapy units treat cancer a new way. His team has worked on tumors where there is little if any hope. Their success rate is excellent.

I've put Brendan's Company's web page HERE for you to look at. It's an important thing to know about and share with your doctor because you never know when cancer will strike, and this is available in few places.

We are lucky enough to have one at Indiana University. There is one in Boston at Mass General, one in California, and Brendan's team is putting a unit together for the University of Florida in Jacksonville.

Last year, his company built a unit in China, and Brendan was the site manager.

Take a look HERE.
