Got told today chemo failed

@LMK74 , what a really crap thing for your surgeon to say without explanation! I bet you feel completely devastated and angry and you have every right to feel that way! my treatment was similar to yours and @primek is really on the mark with her thoughts. Chemo may have done alot more than you think but just didn't do what or as much as the Surgeon needed. Try to see your Oncologist sooner and get their take on things, this is a really fucked thing to have to go through and now you're also being made to feel like treatment hasn't worked. You asked me why I was having radiation before my surgery and it is because the Chemo didn't do as much as my surgeon had hoped for, relating to there still being skin involvement. It has done alot though, just not always exactly what they need as far as surgical viewpoints go.  Don't give up on things, it's fucked that we have to keep rolling our sleeves up and facing everything that gets thrown at us with this crappy disease but hey that's what we have to do to get our lives back!
