PRICE $8.99 APRIL 6, 2020 I “ didn’t want prostate cancer to slow me down. NYU Winthrop’s 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 for prostate cancer in the country: NYU Winthrop Hospital. CyberKnife is as effective as surgery, but with no pain, no recovery period and less risk of side effects compared to other treatments. John’s CyberKnife treatment took just five brief appointments in one week. And in no time at all, he was back to his high- energy lifestyle. Mineola • 1.866.W......
