Hello
My mom is on immuno - the scan are cleared but because she was stage 3 (1 little lymph node was +).
Why did they suggest proton therapy (and what is it ) instead of immuno ?

I’d suggest you get the reasoning of the treatment option directly from the oncologist. So many factors they have to take into consideration and I’ve found they generally are very willing to take questions from the patient and family.
You don’t have to wait for the next appointment. You might consider asking your question through the patient portal.
