curious why chemo & radiation if it hasn't spread why or just surgery to remove. not full picture here. Ask why surgery alone cannot remove cancer.

It is my understanding that surgery is a last resort being as a colostomy cannot always be reversed. I have not had staging results yet but chemo/radiation together have been discussed
