Hello, 

I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has earlier stage small bowel cancer and just had surgery and no chemo.  I was diagnosed in February 2022 with adenocarcinoma of the small bowel, specifically in the jejunum.  They did a bowel resection removing the tumor from my small intestine.  I was T2N0M0 with negative margins.  My tumor was well-differentiated.  Because I am 40, they have given me the option of taking chemo.  I just wondered if anyone has went the surgery only route with no recurrence.  If you are looking at the staging system I would be considered stage 1.

Thanks!
