Chemo stopped working. Going to do radiation

My understanding is that the neoadjuvant approach - 12 folfirinox cycles (CHT), followed by chemo enhanced radiation (CRT) is usually the preferred approach - with scans between each sets (4 cycles=8 weeks) of chemo, then CRT, then a month off prior to surgery.

That’s exactly what the surgeon said. I’m just sad because my oncologist thought he’d do surgery now. She was so excited that the chemo was working.
