Proton Therapy
« on: November 27, 2012, 08:55:07 am »
Hello. I have 2 questions.

1) Can anyone who has "Proton Therapy" tell me about it? There isn't much data out there on it, so I'm wondering if it's as good an option as the others.

2) If tumors have already been radiated, if they grow back, can they be re-radiated? 

Thank you so much! :) Any information is appreciated!

Read my journal on Proton Therapy. Any questions please pm me. For me, I feel I made the best choice.

thanks skip for your journal. it was helpful.

i have a general question for anyone who can answer. is there anyone on the forum who's had proton therapy 5 years ago who can tell me how they're doing today? i have an appointment at a proton center on friday so anything you could tell me about how you're doing this many years down the road will help me decide. thanks! :)
