You are exactly right. My RO wants to treat the pelvic nodes. You bring up a distinction that i have missed: whether SBRT or Proton therapy can do the pelvic nodes. Now I’m not sure.

I am fairly certain all the different modalities can work; it all comes down to user preference and confidence in what they know best.
45 treatments does seem a bit old fashioned these days, but if this dr has great success with it, I would say to let him do his thing. But you should ask Dr Proton if he’s treating the nodes as well during his 5 sessions.
