Hello dear Lybrate user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly. Event free survival rate is 77 % and total survival rate is 85 % Altered appetite is because of radiation, which becomes normal with time without medicines as there is alteration in the intestine flora from the radiation so Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance at my private URL https://www.Lybrate.com/gandhinagar/doctor/dr-bhagyesh-patel-general-surgeon Regards take care.
