Proton beam therapy for anal cancer

Does anyone have experience with proton beam therapy instead of conventional radiation treatment for anal margin squamous cell cancer? I have just been diagnosed and am very afraid of long term effects of conventional radiation.

    I had 28 days of radiation. I never heard of the proton beam. Wonder if you could try it first.
