If you live near a proton radiation center, talk the radiation oncologist. I had 16 treatments post left mastectomy and did fine. Google proton radiation and read about its amazing release of all of the energy right at the target. Good luck.

I have researched Proton radiation & asked my radiologist but where I’m currently being treated it isn’t offered. If I do decide to get radiation I’ll most probably switch to another bigger local cancer center that does offer proton radiation. I think you’re correct, that it’s a safer type of radiation especially in the breast. Thank you for sharing the information!
