Proton beam radiation — experiences?

Melisande

Has anyone here had Proton beam radiation for a H & N tumor? If so, what were your experience and results like? Why did you go this route?

Yes..my proton beam experience

Melisande, do a username search on this board. and type my username.. skidog.This should pull up my entries on the forum.  I went into great detail about the questions you have above about Proton Beam. I'm 14 months out and NED. If you are unable to find my info. let me know and I will summarize and send it on this thread.

Thanks! I am realizing that

Thanks! I am realizing that after a 2 1/2 month journey to diagnosis, I am just not going to have time to start over at a different institutio, so it looks that a Proton therapy is not going to be possibility for me at this point.
