@justwow I understand just the opposite when it comes to Proton vs Photon. Proton is pinpoint rather than a general area blast.
Likely you are being steered away due to the higher cost in most cases of using the Proton machine time. I would ask her what radiotherapy she has used for herself and what were her side effects.
After what I and many others have gone through with Photon beam therapy, I will stand firm on this hill.
You will survive photon radiation, most of us have. Just tell them to be careful and make sure your thyroid is protected by a lead cover. Waiting is not a good option.
