Hi All

As the other Ladies said you are not alone, even though there is so much happening to you at the moment.
I too had my chemo before surgery to shrink the turmors. I had 9 ranging in size from 2cm to 5cm. The chemo did the job and when I had my surgery their was no tumors found. I am not sure what type of Breast Cancer you have - there are different sorts depending on the hormone receptors in the tumor. Mine was triple negative, which means non hormonal, the good news was that triple negative is very receptive to chemotherapy.
Good luck with everything. Sue
