Overview

Diagnosed with prostate cancer in the fall of 2024, Lawrence Jones was determined to be an advocate for his health and find answers beyond his initial options. When he learned that surgery and radiation were in his future, he phoned a friend who recommended Texas Center for Proton Therapy.

The diagnosis

“When I was offered the option to remove my prostate and then have radiation, I figured, if I had to do radiation, I may as well seek a method to keep my prostate,” said Jones. While undergoing treatment, he was able to maintain his normal activities and looked forward to spending time with his family, who supported him throughout the course of his proton radiation treatment. “Surrounding myself with people who could lend a hand, who understood the diagnosis and have walked the same path, was key for me,” said Lawrence. “The staff and Dr. Lee have been amazing throughout this process – if I had to do it all over again, hands down this team and center would be my top choice.”
