Anyone had breast tumor invade the chest wall muscle?

I am wondering if Proton beam radiation is the best way to go if a tumor has begun to grow within the chest wall, under the ribs? There is a Proton radiation clinic as part of UW Cancer treatment (Fred Hutchinson); have been using various hormone blockers that have shrunk it, but wondering why my Dr. is not suggesting the Proton therapy? Anyone had that within the chest wall? Thanks.

@jardinera25 I don't know the answer but I had my surgery at Fred Hutch Seattle & now I go to the Poulsbo clinic for follow-up. Wonderful place!
