The bone marrow is another concern of mine as well as long term effects of radiation. I wish I could get some of my stem cells harvested and kept if needed for later.
Which lymph nodes of yours are affected? Mine are in the mesorectal lymph nodes.
If you go to the SD clinic
How will you do your chemo? Do they have a place within the proton center?
Did they give any stats on number of women treated and outcomes?

Mine has metastasized to multiple distant non regional pelvic lymph nodes. I called proton center and registered so they could coordinate with my health plan and obtain medical records needed for $425 preliminary consultation. It will be 1-2 weeks before phone consult while I wait for my HMO staging follow up appointment 4/9. If you’re interested, I recommend calling the new patient phone # on the proton center web site. I personally don’t need more stats as my 5 year survival rate dropped due to distant metastasis. I just want the treatment that will call the least harmful side effects.
