Starting Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer: Any experiences?

You say you got 5 proton treatments. Were they SBRT treatments using high dose radiation (hyperfractionated) ? Was the machine a ViewRay MRIdian MRI guided one? Or, was it a CT guided one? I am trying to connect with those who have experienced 5 treatments using the ViewRay MRIdian MRI guided proton beam machine. What are your thoughts?

I recently had my consultation and was told that protons are not delivered using the Mridian ViewRay, only photons. Has something to do with the magnets in the MRI and protons.
