Yes, this is my thinking as well. Right now, going to nuke my right breast with X-rays, I mean, yeah, couldn't hurt but don't really see the point. And nuking that particular spot with X-rays seems a little too close to my heart and lungs to make me really happy. We do have some proton therapy here but it seems to only be used for head and neck cancers, there aren't a lot of machines. However, I could see if I could do it if I do it private pay rather than on National Health. This is possible if you want something like a PET scan. I would need to see a price tag on private pay to see if it is feasible, depends on what kind of fee schedule they are using, etc. If not, there is medical tourism, like Bangkok, when I lived in HK people ran over to Bangkok all the time for various procedures, and any complex dental work, as it was so much cheaper than HK (which, already is a LOT cheaper than the US). TW is cheaper (and better) than HK as HK has a mix of private and public and TW is mostly public.
Also would like to see or find if there were a lot of tumor cells in the margin? How much muscle tissue was cut out? Feel like there's a lot I still don't know.

I do have an appt. Wed. night at a breast imaging clinic run by a private-pay doctor (since mammograms and such aren't covered by insurance until your 40s so he does that type of thing). But seems to be good with imaging, bringing him my CDs and reports, see if he has any advice on where to go within TW if proton therapy is possible (I know of two centers within the greater Taipei area, again, just don't know if they would take me on).
