Hello There!
I had surgery in between the two...but I was also pregnant during my first lot of chemo, which may have been the deciding factor?
It went a little something like this...
3 months chemo while pregnant, baby induced at 37 weeks, two days later single mastectomy / lymph node clearance....then a couple of weeks after that started the second lot of chemo / with immunotherapy.
My tumour had softened and shrunk a little, but was still very much there at the time of surgery.
I can't remember the exact reason why I had the surgery in the middle....it was all such a blur...
But just wanted to let you know that mine was done that way :)
Best Wishes!
