"Against All Odds" - Proton Therapy at Loma Linda University Health

For the Purcells, their fairy tale life came to a halt when the doctor diagnosed Pat with prostate cancer. As the second leading cause of cancer death, prostate cancer affects one in seven men. The Purcells are set to fight this deadly disease and explore every treatment option they could find. Little do they know that 25 years earlier, a doctor 1200 miles away risked his entire career to pioneer proton treatment with virtually no side effects. “Against All Odds” follows a couple’s desire to fight cancer and unveils the historical account of a doctor’s passion to discover a better treatment option.

I am desperately searching for the name and address of an internet newsletter regarding Prostate Cancer and Proton Therapy, a very large one with many, many reports, whose name I cannot remember. Perhaps it was Australian or Swiss, as I know it wasn't US, but I cannot remember the name or internet address....... Thanks for any information ..... Charles Coryn.

I must object to the music that is going on when people are speaking. The music is too loud and I can't see why it needs to be there at all. It hinders my ability to get any good from the dialog.
