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.

@fritzo We only have one proton center in central Virginia. My buddy drove and hour and a half each way for 50 days of treatment. If it would have prevented the radiation proctitis I am experiencing a year after radiation I would view it as a bargain.
