Conflicting surgical opinions? What now?

toomanyquestions:
I was told after my surgery I would have 5 weeks of radiation called proton, has anyone had
this kind? I had radiation 2013 when I had cancer in my left breast, and now 9 years later in
my right breast. I did not have proton at that time. I have read that Radiation for women
is not good, It seems to do something to the heart, has anyone heard this?

I am looking into Proton therapy. It is considered to be safer with few side affects. Particularly in the left breast where traditional photon radiation they can injure your heart. Some people have nearly -0- side affects with Proton Therapy, its pretty amazing what they can do.
