Yes it’s very normal to have chemo first if it has spread anywhere else and with good reason . Not only does it Shrink any visible disease it also tackles any micro disease . Whilst it would have mentally been easier to think of a surgical solution first . Looking back I think it has had a big part to play in my mum’s long term survival. It’s also pretty universal to have chemo first . Most countries do it that way , some don’t with a solitary met but have chemo after . My mum had it first but no other chemo . Others do some before and some after but it’s very , very common .
I wish him every success and it’s also good they see him as a surgical candidate.
