How did you choose between proton or photon radiation?

Everything I have read gives similar prognosis for Photon, Proton and Brachy... all very good results. It will probably be some time yet before we know whether there are quantifiable benefits to these therapies when comparing which is "Best".
Best wishes for success to all.

Read same. The cure rate for proton and photon were same just different radiation and proton not passing through body like photon. Long range studies will reveal if this made significant secondary cancers and long term affects. So far a similar with 5 year studies.

Thanks for information.
