I was operated on September the 15th for the removal of a cancerous tumor in the large intestine. 16 1/2 inches was removed and the results came back and I'm cancer free. It had not spread to any of my organs or the lymph nodes. Why then am I asked to get chemo therapy treatments? My doctor says I had an aggressive type of cancer. Why would I run down my immune system and take a chance of destroying my chances of fighting this disease. I'd rather be followed closely for any changes that may occur. Has anyone gone through this and did you have any chemotherapy?View Thread
