Hi all, Newly diagnosed...was it just last week? Feels like a lifetime ago. My surgeon has recommended chemo before surgery. Something I wasn’t expecting. I’d done all my research on breast cance...
I had chemo first. I think it was to shrink the tumours to give options for the surgery but then the surgeon changed her mind and decided a double mastectomy was my best option. In my case, my age, cancer in both breasts and her2 positive, it was deemed the best long term decision. I also had clips put in to monitor the tumours. Can’t say if it’s better or worse to be honest. Good luck. Cheers, Jen.
