I wish I could give you an answer but I'm at the limits of my knowledge. It's a very good question. If you talk to them let me know the outcome. I have spoken with the public affairs person at Loma Linda to obtain permission to use some of their material and pictures on the site. The next time I speak with her I'll see if she can answer that question.
The only 2 centers currently open for PBT is Loma Linda UMC and the Northeast Proton Therapy Center at Massachusetts.
Maybe you can arrange to have the docs review your case at the closest PBT facility.
