Sorry for spelling am in a rush.
I wonder has anyone had it explained to them why they might have their chemo before surgery rather than after.
I am having both but it seems some have surgery first. Is this a regional thing or is it a diagnosis dependent decision?
Hope all are well.
Hi cheesewell, I didn’t need chemo so don’t know too much about it but from posts I’ve read people have had it before surgery in order to reduce the size of the tumour in cases where it was large.
