@fritzo I'm not familiar with those studies. A friend of mine went with Proton and hasn't had near the side effects I had with EBRT. Definitely not a scientific study. Cure is at the top of my list. I think surgeons oversell nerve sparing. They don't get paid if you go with radiation.

Yeah, it's like selling cars. You sell what's on your lot, not what's in the next lot.

Proton seems like it would be great, but it would be challenging to travel every day for nine weeks of treatments. But, better side effects would provide motivation.
