Hi Doug
Hoping recovery is easier and easier every day.
You are ahead of my Dad. We were just diagnosed a few weeks back, also stage 3. We have also been advised to have all the FLOT sessions before surgery. Did you also receive any inmunotherapy combined with the chemo?
Stay optimistic until you meet the oncologist next week. From everything I have read even if not achieving PCR with surgery, having surgery would still be the recommended option!

@veromdf No, I did not receive immunotherapy combined with chemo. However, I will start immunotherapy this week and in six months possibly radiation

Hi there, recovery is like 2 steps forward and 1 step back.
No, I did not receive immunotherapy; something about receptors wouldn't work???? But if you can take a break between #4 & #5, it'll pay off as those stacking treatments compound pretty hard.
You stay optimistic as well
