Patient Stories

"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."

— Joseph,

"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."

— Patti,

"…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."

— Kathi,

"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."

— Tracy,

"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."

— Jack,
