“I didn’t want
prostate
cancer to
slow me down.
®
CyberKnife was
the
ideal solution.”
John Roberts may be over 70, but you’d never know it. When he’s
not teaching, working out at the gym or paddleboarding, he spends
as much time as possible with his grandkids. So when John was
diagnosed with prostate cancer, he and his doctor set out to find
the most effective treatment option – and one that wouldn’t keep
him from his active lifestyle. They ruled out surgery but looked into
radiation treatment.
When John heard that conventional radiation would take six or
seven weeks of daily treatments, he knew there had to be a better
way. Ultimately, he and his doctors found it: CyberKnife radiation
therapy at the number one CyberKnife center in the country: NYU
Winthrop Hospital.
John’s CyberKnife treatment took just five brief appointments in
one week. He had no pain, no side effects. And in no time at all he
was back to his high-energy lifestyle.
