When David Winfield learned he had prostate cancer, the longtime employee of MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center was unrattled. He found out he had prostate cancer several years ago and due to his family history of prostate cancer, physicians recommended he have yearly checkups and a Prostate-Specific Antigent (PSA) blood test. As a surgical technologist in the hospital operating rooms, David was familiar with all of his treatment options. After discussing them with his doctor, he decided CyberKnife was the right treatment.
He was treated by Dr. David Perry, MD and his treatments were once a day for about forty-five minutes. He received five treatments in one week, and anesthesia was not required. David explained "There was no pain during the treatment" and they were, "very easy, very simple." Today, he is cancer-free and working toward his dream of playing the guitar.
