Chemo before surgery OR surgery before chemo???

Good morning, I received my results yesterday and the surgeon suggested a 4 month cycle of chemo (apparently my body can take it??) before a full mastectomy. Is this normal? Or do most have surgery...

@kmakm - Oh, dear! I hope you are feeling ok? I haven't met with my oncologist yet, so will know more when I have that. They are suggesting chemo and then surgery, but I was just wondering if this is the norm.
