I had proton therapy for treatment of my acoustic neuroma two years ago. Dr. Jay Loeffler at Mass General Hospital treated me. The MRI I had done six months ago showed that the tumor has shrunk a little bit. I am happy to speak with anyone regarding this treatment. I can be reached at .....

Keith,
Please email me so I can get your contact information... I'd appreciate the information on your experience. I am scheduled for a Gama Ray procedure in 4 weeks and I've been looking for information on the Proton therapy. I was diagnosed with a small right side Acoustic Neuroma 24 months ago with slight growth over the last 24 months. Mild hearing loss and slight balance issues (very slight). Because of the change in my hearing comprehension, The Gama Knife was recommended.
I just contacted the Northwestern Medicine center in Chicago and they are reviewing my MRI's and radiology reports to see if I would qualify or benefit from the Proton therapy.
55 years of age, excellent health (runner) self employed business consultant who loves life and wants the best option to choose.
Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s good to know that you had relief with this Proton therapy. Thanks for sharing your experience. I also had similar problems and took acupuncture treatment at a professional Mississauga acupuncture (http://www.acupuncture-mississauga.ca/our-office/streetsville-mississauga-near-erin-mills-meadowvale.html) clinic and have got good results.
