Fear of radiation after lumpectomy

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!

@rene1636 I’m not familiar w/ proton radiation. If you do that type of radiation, is it possible to radiate that breast again? My understanding is that If you have a breast radiated (usual radiation), you cannot radiate it again. Ask this question due to having a lumpectomy now.
