Rectal Cancer - Hospital Recommendation

My father's is T3dN2 rectal tumor, stage 3. On the report it says 4 or more suspicious regional lymph nodes. We have never asked, and we were never told how much the tumor will shrink, if we go with chemo first, or go with the other options. It seems this is going to be my first question once we meet the oncologist again.

Thank you.

Good plan. Have you spoken with the surgeon yet? Do you have a great one? Do they report to a tumor board to get multiple input for what treatment and protocol to go with?
That should be your next conversation. Not another with the oncologist. The surgeon will make all of this so much clearer!
