Only diversion colostomy is done right, its not curative procedure yet, it must hv been done only to offer him some neoadjuvat treatment, so he should be offered chemo sos RT if actually 10 form Anal verge based on T stage and followed by Definative surgery.

As u r saying it's stage 2, line of treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy..colostomy is done only for providing passage to fecal matter it's not the treatment. Any sort of oxidative diet will not help cure the disease. He need proper treatment by an oncologist. As far as ejection fraction concern we have other chemotherapy options too so that will be decided by the treating physician. So for ur question yes chemotherapy and RT is needed for sure
