Fascinating. I see my surgeon on November 4th so I'll be sure to ask about this. Meanwhile I'm off to learn more. Thanks again O Stoma Mia. You are a real amount of information.

I'm happy to report that my pain is turning a corner.

Another news I saw my oncologist. I completed nine chemotherapy appointments. And even though my pathological stage is now stage one, they want me to complete the three remaining chemos. They explained by saying on my original CAT scan, they saw what looked like suspicious nodes. Out of 36 nodes taken from my surgery, zero had cancer. I am disappointed but have made up my mind to do the three remaining chemos. Better safe than sorry.

If you are doing Folfox, I would consider eliminating oxaliplatin from the last three rounds in order to reduce your chances of having neuropathy.
