What is the plan after the surgery?

As awkward as it sounds, I am "glad" to hear you found chemo worse than the surgery because that's what I'm most concerned about. Never had surgery before but my wife has had two resections and they sucked.
I recall thinking sometime around cycle four that I couldn't handle a full 12 rounds but I know I can. Just have to suffer through it. So, yeah, if there's any question or grey area, I'll be opting for additional FOLFOX. After all, we're good buddies now.
