Thank you, @gently. I like your response and will investigate MRI guided photon. The coordinated guidance aspect of radiation therapy is an area that I have not really examined, and I did not realize until I saw my Mayo RO that there were these marked differences between the flavors of machines.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, when you had proton therapy did you have insurance through an employer, or Medicare, or something else? Did your RO at the time recommend proton or did you push for it personally? Thanks so much, wish you well!
