I don't think MDA's IMPT is a selling point to convince the military since I don't think MDA would recommend using it over IMRT for this cancer at this point but Paul's our proton expert. The point I would want to press is that a CCC like MDA treat's thousands of patients like your husband and they are much better equiped to make all the multidisiplend decisions necessary to best treat him.
