Pediatric Proton Foundation Supports ASTRO's Annual Meeting

The Pediatric Proton Foundation (PPF) was in full force at the Annual Meeting of ASTRO in Miami Beach, from Oct. 1-5, 2011.  Volunteers, Susan Ralston, Executive Director, and Ann-Marie Lewis visited from the headquarters area in Virginia Beach and participated in numerous key meetings with old friends and many new friends.  Susan Ralston states, "the proton community is a small world, indeed, and there are so many great people involved in the science and application, it is inspiring to see collaberation and fellowship in action."  The Pediatric Proton Foundation recently partnered with the National Association for Proton Therapy to release survey results from pediatric patients treated with protons in 2010.  The study is available here.

The Annual Meeting of the PPF was held at the Miami Beach Convention Center on Oct. 3, 2011 in attendance included founders, Dr. Sameer Keole, ProCure - Oklahoma City and Dr. Cynthia Keppel, Hampton University Proton Therapy Center.  Other top notch professional volunteers include proton therapy consultant Dr. Andrew Chang and Dr. Daniel Indelicato of the University of Florida Proton Therapy Center.  Dr. Vivian Porche, from MD Anderson, was unable to attend this year.  New applicants for the board were considered (stay tuned) and other important topics were discussed to include the 2011 Pediatric Proton Therapy Survey. 

Many thanks to the supporters of our foundation.  We are reminded daily about those special children and their parents who are fighting cancer today and every day.  Our mission is clear - we want to see every child that qualifies for proton therapy to get it because it reduces the radiation long term effects to healthy surrounding organs and tissues.  We support more proton centers to be able to serve the need.  We support proton therapy as the standard of care for appropriate cases of pediatric radiation cancer treatment.

  1. Proton and MD Albert Venter believes they are above the Consumer Protection Act

    I bought a brand new Proton Satria Neo CPS from Albert Venter MD of Proton Menlyn

    when i confronted Albert Venter MD of Proton Menlyn he told me that he is an MD and does not care about my problems, i bought the Brand New car and now its my problem that is faulty

    the Consumer Protection Act is supposed to protect the consumer form being sold faulty goods which Proton did and admitted they should never have released the car to me in the first place as it is faulty, but they still refuse to replace the car and will only agree to try fix the faults and if the faults are not done correctly i must let them try fix it again which is not right and is against the Law the Consumer Protection Act states if the vehicle purchased is not in good quality the consumer has the right to the 3 R's Repair, Replace, or Refund that right is left to the consumer to choose which Proton and Albert Venter do not agree on but it is there in the SA Law but Albert Venter and Proton Menlyn are above the law

    Proton Sells cars that are unsafe, badly built with factory defaults and very bad Customer Services, I will fight and will not stop at anything to prove and show South African's that Proton is not a fair Company and do not care about their Customers or do not care about the Faulty cars they selling customers and i assure you the truth about Proton will be spread everywhere especially the internet

    I have posted this email on a number of Car Buyer blogges as well as Facebook and Twitter and other media sites where thousands of potential Proton buyers look before they purchase cars, which will result in Millions lost on potential Proton buyers
