If possible and I were a patient I would think that it ould be sensible to get proton therapy, which would then be followed by conventional x-ray to "mop up". Unless of course the tumor(s) are occult ect.? Are they doing this already and would they know enough about proton therapy application to entertain the thought. I know they are building one at MD Anderson so if I went there for treatment would they referr me out to Cali or Boston or how would that work if they agreed to try it? I dunno just trying to not feel helpless if my fears are confirmed. Thanks. | | |

Not everyone is a candidate for every type of radiation delivery system, see what they. That would be if you even have cancer. Please ask your doctor for some medication to help you deal with this issue. You have let this consume your life and have already thrown away a great deal of valuable living time. No problems here with the posts, but you need to get a hold of yourself.
