Terran has the best defense against Cannon rushes... Lift just lift all your stuff and float to a new base the protoss just wasted a ton of mineral cannon rushing your base. float to your nat or the nearest base.

floating the cc away is the most stupid thing you can try. All they do is just build a pylon where you try to land and ur fucked. You have to micro that first marine, and also make sure that you try and use those magic 4 scvs to try and prevent the cannons from being built.

Best response apart from either..

no gas, extra rax for double marine production and bunker hopping
gas for marauders or reapers while relying on defensive bunker

The douche response is floating all your buildings into the far corners of the map, alt-tabbing and doing something else like watch youtube and waiting for the ragequit. People who cheese like this want a quick win, and half the time they don't want to wait to tech up to stargates to find and kill you

if they build a pylon where you land, you have brought all your scv's and kill it in around 5 seconds. no problemo. I think cannonrush is an overrated cheese against terran compared to alot of other allins, because you can fly away.
