Hi @kellyc14 Kelly, thank you very much for sharing. I am similar. DCIS Stage 0. 2 lumpectomies bcos they didn’t clear margins first time! Did insurance cover the treatments for you? I have really good insurance with Aetna but they still don’t cover proton unless the heart or lungs are in the way. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated. I start Wednesday with traditional radiation and almost want to hold them to check with the Texas Place you shared.

@katjje yes- everything was covered by my insurance.
Preauth took less than 1 day- UTSW did everything for me.
