Paul comes to mind when Im thinking of proton users. You can use the link I previously posted to get the the main OCF site, or click on OCF Website located on the bottom left of any page. There you will be able to read a considerable amount of info in the Understanding section. Then click on Treatments, then on Radiation and start reading. Theres even more links available towards the bottom of the page to give more detailed info. Im sure reading thru everything, you will come across even more links so you can go deeper into those subjects.
Best wishes!!!
