My fiance is in Jacksonville Florida at this time receiving treatment for Chondrosarcoma of the Pelvis (left side) , he had his first treatment today. He has a very large tumor filling his entire left pelvis. The proton radiation is preferred over conventional radiation because they can give a higher dose related to the fact that the proton radiation is much more precise, it was explained to us that the proton radiation is like using a laser pen light compared to the old type of flashlight with a wider beam.
