Fiducial markers- are they necessary?

I got my first ever tattoo's for EBRT lol. I think gold markers are for HBRT (high blast) which my neighbor got. If he has to undergo radiation can he opt for Proton? I've herd it is easier on the body due to being a more precise beam with less good tissue damaged. Many more sessions though. I would gladly trade more sessions for fewer side effects. Does your guy have to undergo salvage and ADT?

@chippydoo
My guy was considering adjuvant ( his PSA is undetectable but high risk case) so RT suggested gold markers for IMRT if we wish to peruse that path. We are still undecided since most suggested not to 🤷♀️ and to wait for salvage or very early salvage so we shell see. However I want to be ready for anything in the future since we were blindsided TWICE with PC *sigh . I did not ask about technique used for placement and do not want to send questions - I think that they had enough of me for this year 😋- BUT not my fault actually. I wish I did not have to pull their sleeve to get deserved answers lol.
