Radiotherapy for anal cancer

I have had 2 different types of chemo, neither agreed with me. My oncologist has ruled out chemo for me

 I had an emergency colostomy done in September as My tumour is in my anus, it was getting to a point where I couldn't poo, hence why it was done. 

My oncologist is now recommending that I have radiotherapy on the tumour. But I'm scared, I've heard that it can seriously burn your skin, I don't want to get to a point where I am unable to sit comfortably.  

Has anyone else had radiotherapy on a tumour in their anus and what experience did you have?
