Refusing folfox treatment after chemoradiation

@girafe well I saw my oncologist today and my scans were clear I’m in remission now. I see the surgeon on Thursday to have a scope done hopefully he won’t see anything either. But the thing is they’re wanting me to choose more chemo to prevent cancer in the future. Without it I have a 72% chance of it not coming back in 3yrs. My diagnosis is a T13X it seems none of the studies done were for someone in my situation. I’ll be 71 yrs old and I’m not sure if I want to go through chemo again.

@115 I saw my surgeon today for a scope and was hoping everything would be okay but he took a biopsy thought it looked like scar tissue. Just to be safe. After talking to him I realize I’ll be better off doing chemo again not sure what type. I really don’t want Xeludo again. I have to have an upper endoscopy to remove a polyp that showed dysplasia so I’ll be busy. I’d appreciate any comments or info. Thanks 🙏🏼
@115 I got the results of the biopsy and it is benign. At first I it scared me into thinking I needed the chemo right away. After a weekend of worrying and talking to my SIL who is surviving stage 4 anal cancer, I wonder what would they be treating if the scans are clear and the biopsy is ok. What are my next steps?

@115
Congratulation, hope your next visit will be good news.
Could you tell me what is T13X cancer.?
