    Personally I had mastectomy on 17 Feb followed by first chemo on 25 March. I’ve now had 3 (every 20 days) with a pre assessment 2 days before chemo (always on a Wednesday). That gives you chance to have blood tests, ask questions and discuss side effects. I hope you only have to have a few chemos…sending best regards xxx
