Hi Dr.s. My wife has metastatic colorectal cancer in three Lymph nodes. One near some surgical clips near the original area and two distal lymph nodes in the retro peritoneal area. She has been ruled out for surgery by local oncologists but has been referred to Toronto oncology for consideration by them for surgery. Also she has been ruled out for normal radiation because there are three nodes affected. But the local radiation oncologist has reached out to the Toronto radiation group to see if she is a good candidate for SBRT. Do you have any thoughts if any of these two choices are a reasonable approach? The alternative is Chemo to control the cancer.

my mother removed the urethra 2 years ago due to cancer and she have a sack outside of her abdomin to collect urine but we didn't give her any chemotherapy or radiation therapy in 2024 we discovered metastasis cancer in sigmoid and vagainal colorectal fistula we immediately started radiation around 28 radiation sessions in one month and platinol chemotherapy every week for one month now we finished the treatment and doctors told us to wait for one month to do checkups including MRI with contrast on abdomin and pelvic and my mother is suffering from chest tightness and i am afraid that the cancer has traveled in the off month to the lungs since it's been aroun 20 days since the last radiation session is it possible for the cancer to spread in that short time

thanks
