That's a very complete plan, @cvestor ! I sincerely hope it does the job for your cancer.

One tip about the radiation, if your cancer is low in your rectum, you can feel that the skin around your anus and up the butt crack gets burnt. Be prepared with a soothing cream like Cicalfate+. You should also be prepared to the possilbe secondary effects of Xeloda. For me it was some paraesthesia in my left limbs after 22 days of taking it. It stopped as soon as I stopped taking Xeloda, when I reported the effect to my oncologist.
