Chemo working after treatment ends?

Hello. I just finished my folfox treatments. My MRI just posted and it shows no change in the tumor. I’m just wondering if there is any hope that the tumor will shrink in the months following treatment. In other words, does the chemo continue to work when treatment is finished or does my lack of shrinkage mean the chemo did not work?

    I hope it does!

    For me, I spent 3 months doing chemo and radiation. It did nothing but make it worse.

    I should have demanded surgery and skipped all that.
