June is International Cancer Survivors Month, a time to look past the clinical data and share the real, human moments behind the treatment. Today, we are sharing the incredible journey of Hilary, a retired pharmacist from High Wycombe.

Throughout her career as a pharmacist, Hilary saw too many people leave things until it was too late. Because of this, she and her husband took a proactive approach to their health, undergoing private scans every five years. In late 2023, that decision changed her life. A routine MRI revealed a brain tumour located deep in the centre of her brain. “I had no symptoms... I felt completely fine,” Hilary recalls.

Because of its sensitive location, surgery wasn’t an option. Hilary was referred to Dr. Michael Kosmin at Proton International London for Proton Beam Therapy—an advanced treatment that uses protons instead of X-rays to target tumours with exceptional precision, sparing healthy surrounding tissue.

We know that navigating an unexpected diagnosis brings immediate anxiety, especially when it comes to dealing with the background logistics and health insurance. To help close that anxiety gap, our team provides full administrative support. As Hilary notes: “The best part was that I didn’t have to chase my insurer. Proton International London spoke to Bupa directly. That made a huge difference.”

Today, Hilary is back to enjoying her retirement, from Mediterranean cruises to touring India’s Golden Triangle.

Advanced cancer treatment, explained simply.

Ever wonder what makes Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) so precise? It comes down to a physics phenomenon called the Bragg Peak. 🎯

Unlike standard radiation, which can damage healthy tissue on its way into and out of the body, proton beams are programmed to deposit their highest dose of radiation exactly at the tumour site—and then stop completely.

🛑 What does zero “exit dose” mean for certain cancers?

* Targeted Precision: The beam hits the tumour with maximum energy.
* Organ Sparing: Critical nearby organs are protected from unnecessary radiation.
* Better Recovery: Fewer side effects and an improved quality of life during treatment.

At Proton International London, our world-class experts use this exact precision to deliver targeted, compassionate care tailored to you.

Why spend 7 weeks in treatment when you could spend 2? 🏥

Our 5-fraction pathway for prostate cancer reduces travel and clinic time from 35 days to just 10. Logistical freedom, clinically delivered.

Who is 5-fraction proton beam therapy for?

The 5-fraction pathway is typically considered for men with early-stage prostate cancer that has not spread outside the prostate or around the body.

Our specialist proton beam therapy team assesses suitability on a case-by-case basis, considering:

* Prostate tumour specific features including size and grade
* Symptoms caused by the tumour (if any)
* Medical imaging such as MRI, PET and CT scans
* The patient’s age and overall health

After careful review, a specialist oncologist, backed by a multidisciplinary team of radiologists and clinicians, recommends the most appropriate course of treatment.

At 74, retired architect Peter Selencky was living an active life in the Peak District when a proactive PSA test led to a shocking prostate cancer diagnosis.

Though the cancer was localised, Peter was uneasy with the “one-size-fits-all” approach of traditional radiotherapy, which involved treating a wide area around the prostate.

Peter’s primary concern was the potential for life-altering side effects. This led him to discover Proton Beam Therapy (PBT). He was drawn to the technology’s ability to deliver radiation with sub-millimeter precision, stopping at the tumour site and sparing the nearby bladder and bowel.

Choosing to travel to London for private treatment at Proton International London, Peter received a bespoke plan from Consultant Oncologist Dr. Jason Lester. His treatment included a re**al spacer for added protection and a daily schedule that felt “calm and organised” rather than clinical.

Two years later, Peter is thriving with reassuring PSA results. His message to other men is simple: “Don’t assume the first option you’re offered is the only one. Take time to understand what’s available.”

If you are navigating a prostate cancer diagnosis, don’t settle for uncertainty. At Proton International London, we provide world-leading, consultant-led Proton Beam Therapy designed to target cancer while preserving your quality of life.

Often, the earliest warning signs of head and neck cancer are mistaken for a common cold or minor infection. However, when these symptoms persist, they require specialist attention.

At Proton International London, we believe that empowering patients with knowledge is the first step toward a successful recovery.

Are you or a loved one experiencing any of these?

1. A persistent sore throat that doesn’t go away after two weeks.

3. Changes in your voice, such as new or lasting hoarseness.
4. Difficulty swallowing or a feeling that something is “stuck.”
5. Red or white patches in the mouth or on the tongue.

Knowing what to look for can make all the difference in accessing advanced care that prioritises your future quality of life. Our expert team is here to provide clarity, from initial diagnosis through to the most advanced treatment pathways available in the UK.

Your health can’t wait 💙

April is . At Proton International London, we’re shining a light on the importance of early detection and the life-changing impact of advanced cancer care.

Bowel cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the UK, yet many people feel hesitant to discuss the symptoms. Breaking the silence is the first step toward a cure.
What should you look out for?

🩸 Persistent blood in your stool.
🚽 A lasting change in bowel habits (going more often or looser stools).
🎈 Unexplained pain or bloating in the abdomen.
📉 Unintentional weight loss or extreme tiredness.

Why Early Detection Matters: When diagnosed at the earliest stage, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer for five years or more. Knowledge is power, and screening is essential.

Join us this month in spreading awareness. Share this post, check in with your loved ones, and if something doesn’t feel right, speak to a specialist.

📍 Located in the heart of London, we provide world-class oncology support and proton beam therapy for a range of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.

This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Proton International London took to the airwaves to ensure that every man at the point of diagnosis feels empowered, not overwhelmed.

Through 13 high-impact media features across Sky News Radio, BFBS, and nationwide networks, we reached over 6.7 million listeners to discuss the future of cancer care.

Our core message? Knowledge is power. Research shows that 77% of people believe quality of life must be a key consideration in cancer treatment. That’s why our campaign focused on explaining the critical differences between Surgery, Conventional Radiotherapy and Proton Beam Therapy (PBT)

Our spokesperson, Dr. Edwards, highlighted how the clinical precision of PBT can lead to reduced side effects and shorter treatment courses, helping men maintain their quality of life during and after treatment.

At Proton International London, we believe that informed knowledge supports confident decisions. We are proud to be a UK leader in providing next-generation care that puts the patient’s future first.

Are you getting the full story on your cancer treatment options? 🧐

When it comes to a cancer diagnosis, “good enough” isn’t enough. Recent research conducted with 2,006 UK adults reveals a startling “information gap” in healthcare.

While many patients naturally want to trust their consultants, a significant number of people are not 100% confident that their healthcare professionals—whether NHS or private—can provide exhaustive information on every treatment option available today.
The data shows a shift toward the
“Empowered Patient”:

Proactive Research: Most people surveyed stated they would conduct extensive research of their own to find the best possible care.

Right to Know: If a more advanced treatment is available privately, either in the UK or abroad, patients overwhelmingly want to be told about it.

Quality of Life: Avoiding life-altering side effects is now a top priority for those choosing a treatment pathway.

At Proton International London, we believe transparency is the key to recovery. We’re here to ensure you have all the facts about Proton Beam Therapy so you can make the most informed decision for your future.

Knowledge is power.
