My prayers and support to you at this difficult time. I been advised and after an excessive amount of search the proton therapy has an advantage over the photon. As the proton therapy has the characteristics to stop at a precise point so the other organs can be spared from being affected. Proton therapy is more expensive. Due to this advantage.

@marvelous20250 Thank you for your prayers. Tomorrow is the big day when we find out just where things are at and how to go forward. I've been down the cancer road several other times with close family members but it is no easier. Still I find myself terrified and I know my husband is too, although we don't reveal this to one another, staying very positive. I follow a friend's advice - cry in the shower when you have to. Thanks again for your prayers. The most powerful tool in our arsenal of treatments. That is my feeling about proton therapy as well. We have good insurance and live near a proton center. There is a compelling video on the PCRI website supporting this.
