Hey lewicki,

Mass General uses proton therapy too.

I believe Integris in Oklahoma has been using proton therapy for years. Dr. Gary Larson who I have messaged with on another site is at Integris.

I would think that Loma Linda would have a good program.

Go to the Brotherhood of the balloon, you can find the 25+ proton facilities in the US there.
