About Proton Therapy

"The more I read about proton therapy, the more it felt like the way to go. From a science standpoint, it just made sense to try to minimize any potential damage to healthy tissue."

"I would not be where I am today without the amazing support of my family, my boyfriend, and my friends, and without the expert and compassionate care provided at the New York Proton Center."

"…the whole thing was very human and very caring. At the same time, you always have a feeling of total confidence in your doctors and your entire support team. You never doubt for a moment that you’re getting outstanding care."

"Since I already had lung issues, I was very skeptical about conventional therapy. I just wanted the radiation to hit the tumor and nothing else. I felt much more secure with protons."

"I had no issues with the proton therapy. Every day, I woke up and I thought, I just have to get treatment and then I can enjoy the rest of the day in the city. It almost felt like we were on vacation."
