My husband is going through proton radiation treatment now. Before he agreed to proton radiation on his neck, he asked to see the statistics and research indicating a better outcome with neck radiation. His doctor provided that and my husband decided to go ahead with the treatments in his neck area. My husband's cancer is in one of his sinus cavities.

Hi @deb26 and welcome to our head and neck group. Proton is the best for accurate zapping with minimal peripheral damage. Good luck and if you have any questions or concerns, this is the place.

@deb26, sounds like your husband is a data guy. I'm glad that his doctor was able to demonstrate the risks and benefits with statistics and research that were meaninful for cancer of the sinus cavity and his particular situation.

How is radiation going? How many treatments will he have?
