      Proton radiation is a new form of radiation and not as many have used it, I do know that some on this site have used it. Be patient it may take a little while for them to see this question. One way to get more information on it is to click on the experiences tab, then type proton therapy in the search box. This will bring back every conversation that included the term Proton therapy.

      The indications for Proton therapy are really great. here in Chicago all of the top name hospitals are using the same facility. If I would have had a choice I would have chosen proton. I have had considerable lung damage just from the radiation I took and I hade IMRT and pin point type but still had damage. The difference is that proton does not damage on its way into the body like other radiation . Proton only delivers the pulse at the end point (The cancer).

      Good luck and I am so sorry that a young women like you has to go through this.
