Just wanted to say that I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with this wretched disease. I did not have neoadjuvant chemo but know that there have been a few ladies who have had treatment in this order.
There are advantages to doing chemo first as I am sure your doctors have explained. Be reassured that this can work well and I hope that some ladies who have had chemo before surgery share their experiences with you.
Wishing you all the best (I had 6 doses of chemo last year) and please let us know how you go. This network is a great way to get support from others who understand the unique experiences that we all share. Take care. Deanne xxx
