“I think about the guy who was just


told he has prostate cancer. I want to


give him and his family hope.”


Following a routine physical, Pastor Billy Richards of Grace Fellowship
Ministries in Brooklyn was referred to a urologist for further testing
where he learned the news that shocked him. He had prostate cancer.
After much prayer and discussion with his family, Pastor Richards
decided to hold o‚ on treatment because he did not like the options he
was given, especially surgery.

Then, he heard about CyberKnife® at NYU Winthrop Hospital.
CyberKnife radiation therapy is as e‚ective as surgery, but with no
pain, no recovery period and less risk of side e‚ects compared to other
treatments. After Šve brief sessions, the treatment was a complete
success. Today, Pastor Richards is convinced he has a second calling.
“I’m a witness that CyberKnife works,” he says.

NYU Winthrop is the only CyberKnife Center in both Manhattan
and Long Island. For more information about CyberKnife, call
