Twin Brothers and Veterans Both Choose Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer Diagnoses

November 11, 2020

When his twin brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer five years ago, John Horton knew he needed to stay on top of his annual screenings.

Originally from Rochester, New York, John moved to the Dallas area so he and his wife could be closer to family. When he realized there was a proton therapy center nearby, he said his decision to move was confirmed. Prior to his own diagnosis, John’s brother was treated with proton therapy at a center in Tennessee.

“[My brother] and his wife did all the exploration that I felt needed to be done. He had such a good response to [proton therapy] that I didn’t need to look around and when I moved to Dallas and found there was a proton center here, the choice was done,” John said.
