@jpartner2 thank you for your reply. I’m on the West Coast so I’m going to a facility in the UC system. It’s not proton. It’s the standard equipment and my decision was based on the fact that it’s only six minutes away from our home. That makes it convenient to get to d during the seven weeks.. It also is the latest machine that’s been installed only in the last year so I’m hoping the technology has gotten better.

I hadn’t heard about the ice packs yet, that’s interesting and I do see them on Amazon but nobody’s mentioned so far that the hands and feet are an issue. What was the symptom? Is it pain and tingling? Again thanks very much for your thoughtful response.
