Do not worry about the options, rely on your provider to recommend the best options for your situation. They know your situation, diagnosis and options. I did ask about protein beam vs other radiation options and my radiologist informed me that the other radiations option were more effective in my situation then protein beam.

You can always ask why they are recommending a specific radiation treatment plan over others.
