Dear Diane

I have placed a link below on proton beam therapy in the UK from cancer research UK:

The NHS Christie Centre in Manchester have the facility for Proton Beam Therapy as well as Private health care in South Wales- Rutherford Cancer Centre, see link below:

You would maybe have to check if you could access this privately at the Christie Centre, their telephone number is 0161 918 7296 and the link is:

All the best
