I recently underwent radiation, chemo and surgery for an early 3t rectal tumor. I had a full response outcome, no lymphnode involvement and the tissue at the site of resection had no cancer cells present. now I am confrounted with another 4 months of chemo. I'm looking for anyone who has the same outcome (full response) and whether they had chemo or chosed to not have it. How did you fair. The scientific literature is very inconclusive. Thanks for any help
