@xahnegrey40 “… focal radiation in the last <10 yrs show that the photon shaped beam is almost identical to proton beam in accuracy…” is true. But how many men ask for that photon machine and how men centers have that available?

@brianjarvis Being informed as to what machines are out there - and currently being used by your treatment center - should really be a must…I agree.
I was lucky in that Sloan had a Varian TruBeam and used the newest software to ‘shape’ the beam…so far, so good.
