Proton: There are a few here who have had proton treatment and hopefully they can chime in and add their comments on that technology.

Well i guess that's one of the rad treatments i had. it was used during several treatments in a neck muscle area where they didn't want my spinal column impacted. like other rad proceedures, i thought it was no big deal. just lay there and relax. my outcome has been very good.

best wishes.
