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?

    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.
