After stage 3b rectal cancer

28 Jan 2023 17:59

Hi everyone!

My hubby was diagnosed with stage3b rectal cancer in May 2022. He finished all treatment and had APR surgery after chemo and chemoradiation were done. He has a permanent colostomy. 

His biopsy results were clear and said he had a complete pathological response.

Now the question - did anyone had a complete pathological response and hot the cancer back? I know its silly to ask but I just want to know.

Hello,

 

I really have no idea but you will have to be as strong as you can and ask the surgeon or your Doctor.  Good luck
