The surgical notes stated that they could not rule out a complete response to the chemo. This was at Mayo Rochester. They did want me to finish with 8 more rounds of Folfox but there was never any talk of maintenance chemo.
I have been NED since the surgery which was in early October 2017.
Hope this helps.

I guess this would suggest that as a complete responder, you may benefit from it?

I am curious how did they know where to do the surgery on the liver as you has a complete response. Did you have a marker placed before the chemo? In my case the the liver surgeon went in to do the surgery, but decided against it as he couldn't find anything on the liver.
Thanks
