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...

I'm fairly small breasted and a 45mm tumour is massive for me but I never noticed anything - it was picked up in a screening scan.  ILC is a bitch.  @eastmum Chemo is crap but you'll get through it.
