Hi there,
I am a 67 year old woman just diagnosed with SSC anal cancer. It’s in the anus and mesorectal lymph nodes. I’m still waiting a pelvic MRI and am in the process of getting second opinions T Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. The first week of April I will be meeting with an oncologist, colorectal surgeon, and radiation oncologist. It’s the radiation I find terrifying so I had started looking at proton therapy and found a place in San Diego. I’m curious what staging you were and if lymph nodes were involved with the proton therapy. I’ve read some mixed reviews with IMRT vs proton therapy so I feel I just don’t know enough. Any more info you can share would be appreciated.
