Hi. My husband 4cm tumour 10cm margin. T3N2M0. Diagnosed 16 September. After mri ct scans then further mri on liver treatment started 10 December. He had 5 weeks of radio chemotherapy and now about to start 2nd cycle of capox. He is doing ok so far. We are West Midlands so think it depends what area on how quick treatment is started. Hope you are ok.
