Shelby: check what radiation machines are available. Mayo does not have a MRIdian machine with 2 mm margins. The choice can impact side effects from damage to healthy tissue. They do have Proton but it is different. There is also cyberknife. Most RO’s will say the outcomes are the same but drill down about margins and protecting healthy tissue from one machine to another.

We are having radiation at Mayo LaCrosse. Its proton beam. Not sure how we can negotiate another type without travelling. For now, we have to trust in Mayo, but thankyou for your advice!
