Hi there. Just looking to get input.... So I was diagnosed with rectal cancer, stage 2, T3, N0, m0. I had surgery 2 weeks ago, with 18" taken out. Pathology showed no cancer in lymph nodes, they took 22 of them. Given temporary ileostomy. So here we are today, was referred to an oncologist. And met with him today. He wants to do chemo and radiation both. Then he wants to do 5 weeks of radiation daily. Anyone in a similar situation? I am against the radiation for the reason that it can cause major issues with trying to reverse my ileostomy. Lots of uncertainties, thanks for listening
