[quote=donfoo]From what I read Proton Therapy really works well. For what specific cancer profiles I have not a clue. I would absolutely ask your current doctors if radiation recommendations are still open for discussion. The drive may be an issue but pales if it means better outcomes, especially in patients so young.[/quote]

We aren't worried about the drive as the NCCC is 45 mins away also. I just wonder is a hospital with proton therapy better than a NCCC with tomotherapy.
