LVH Muhlenberg Hospital in Bethlehem, Pa will be building a section for proton therapy...very expensive. And from what I understand the machines weigh a lot...a whole lot. Much more then the IMRT. The next closest center that is doing this is in Boston, Ma....from where I'm located. Not many exist.
