One other issue with proton beam therapy. Not all insurances will cover it. Mine denied the use of it.

Hi
I did brachytherapy which is somewhat similar to protonbeam therapy and it was great, very targeted with minimal side effects.  My insurance covered it and my doc said at this point both brachytherapy and proton are pretty comparable until they have 10 years of data to compare.
