Side effects after completing Chemotherapy

I chose chemo after my surgery though my surgeon offered it before as well but I declined since I just wanted to get that ugly tumor out of me. My margins are clear as well and my ca19-9 low as well, but I’m fully aware of those nasty cancer cells. My surgeon thought I would be taking chemo pills after my chemotherapy, but my oncologist said no since my margins are clear and my cancer antigen low normal (6). I did have an area on my scan near the hepatic artery that continues to light up and grow a bit but radiologist said it could be just due to positioning during scans. I won’t believe it though until I get the results of next scan which is next week. I also had a lesion in my liver from day 1 of my pancan diagnosis however radiologists say it’s just a hemangioma. Which chemo treatment did you take? I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Folforinox (Oxalipalatin, Leucovorin, Irinotecan and 5 FU infusion).
At the same time I was enrolled in a clinical trial with Nivolumab.
Thanks for your prayers.
