Proton Therapy Patient Encourages African American Men to Prioritize Prostate Health
It has been eight years of active surveillance for prostate cancer, and Bob Campbell has some exciting news to share.
“At my last checkup with my urologist, my PSA was less than 0.1, which is the lowest it could possibly be,” said Bob.
Bob was diagnosed in 2012 with low-grade prostate cancer.
“I saw my urologist every six months for an exam and PSA draw,” explained Bob. “Things were pretty steady for about seven years. Then my PSA started to gradually pick up.”
In March of 2020, Bob was sent for a prostate biopsy. It was then determined that he had high-grade cancer and needed to go through treatment. After reviewing the options of surgery and traditional radiation, he chose proton therapy at the McLaren Proton Therapy Center.
