    Snezzie….most likely they would radiate your pelvis area. Radiation therapy is often given along with a chemotherapy drug called 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which may make the radiation more effective. (Chemoradiation. )Snezzie….I have learned that some doctors believe adjuvant radiation therapy is helpful, but I have also been told that more research is needed to confirm this.
    Best wishes,
