Welcome to OCF, Michael! Im sorry you have a need for our help with your wife's recent diagnosis of oral cancer (OC). We will try to help with info and support.

Please understand, not every member will go thru the same treatments with OC including so many different tumor locations. As a group of OC patients/survivors and caregivers, we may not always have in depth info about all topics relating to OC. Off the top of my head, Im pretty sure PaulB is someone who has been thru Proton therapy as well as IMRT. As far as which section to post in, I would instead try doing a search and going thru the results of numerous threads on Proton therapy. On the main OCF site theres tons of info about a wide variety of subjects. Ive included a link to our main OCF site, the Treatment section of the Understanding tab should have the most info to help with your questions.

Main OCF Site, Understanding section, Treatments

OCF is not like most other health related websites. We do not allow advertising, spam and never sell our members private info to the unscrupulous companies trying to sell false cures or other unneeded items. Our public forum is monitored 24/7/365, every single day to protect our members safe from those who prey on cancer patients. At OCF, we provide only correct, up to date info which has earned the right to carry the Health on the Net endorsement badge. Meeting their strict criteria makes OCF a much better choice over unmonitored sites where frequently bad advice is passed around which could end up hurting someone instead of helping them. Im sure you will find many things here to help you and your wife get thru whatever path you are taking.

Best wishes!
