Linda,
I’m sorry for your troubles, and totally agree with you! Hang in there, and keep fighting! Maybe that’s what they expect, the majority to opt for IMRT, and only pay for protons for a smaller group? When I was going through protons it was around $3,500 a day, at least that’s what the proton center charged, double the amount than IMRT, but that’s what finally cured me too!
I hope this helps!
