As you may suspect from your previous experience, the answer depends entirely on your situation. Factors that influence the answer include:
- The type of colorectal cancer you have.
- The length of time between the original diagnosis and recurrence.
- The aggressiveness of the cancer cell type.
- Your age.
- Your overall health status.
- How well you tolerate treatment.
- The length of time you are able to take treatment.
- The types of treatment you get.
Ask your doctor about your specific situation.
