Size comparison pre chemo vs post surgery
Hi lovely ladies! I’m a first time poster, long time stalker ;) and up to this point I’ve felt so much support just reading what you have all had to say to others that I haven’t really needed to post...
Your path sounds similar to mine, though I had a different chemo cocktail.
Like everything cancer related, and life in general, we're all different in how we respond
If you've have scans through chemo showing the tumour has shrunk, they're likely correct. Generally speaking, someone who's tumour is bigger than scans suggest hasn't had chemo first, and if they have, it's entirely possible that scans through chemo have shown progression and they're changing plans
It's not at all unusual to find the tumour is a different size to what the scans show
Best wishes for tomorrow, take care while you wait for results
