Michael, Im very sorry Proton radiation was not at this time part of the treatments section! As new medications, treatments, etc emerge the main OCF site is an evolving work in progress.

When I did a quick search on the OCF, forum plenty of posts popped up that contain proton info. Unfortunately, most of the proton posts are like yours... they're seeking additional info.

Im pretty sure PaulB has done proton. Pauls been thru far more than almost anyone on here with his numerous recurrences. Paul is very well-read about many OC topics and has info only someone who experienced it would have. He also does in depth research from reputable sites so his info is always very knowledgeable. PaulB does check in from time to time if you decide to send him a private message (PM).

Hope you find the info you need to make an informed decision.

PS... Another idea would be to check with your wife's doc and ask them if they are aware of any published study results having anything to do with proton vs IMRT.
