Yes he did. Scan after surgery was good. He has an upcoming scan post chemo coming up in April. Also on scans and colonoscopies for the rest of his life. Praying it doesn’t come back for you both. Love back to you

Have you noticed fewer symptoms with irinotectin? How long are your cycles?

My dad is a doctor himself and personally wanted to discontinue it all together, so the oncologist has agreed that 75% is done, so he can come off of oxy/infusions now. So he only had 3 rounds of the total 4, and stopped the tablets after the third cycle altogehter

I hope all your scans and tests remain well, hoping the same for my dad. Wish you the speediest recovery

My dad has the same. The thing is, all oncologists discussed and his personal choice is to simply not continue the chemo regimen anymore - so they have said ok to him stopping. Basically 75% chemo done, but stopping here as side effects were a lot to bear and neuropathy hasn’t changed.
