We really don't know if chemo provides a good outcome unless there is a tumour that is being directly monitored. Those of us who are having it as adjunctive treatment just have to take that leap of faith that it will work for us and we will remain disease free. If there is nothing to monitor post surgery it's designed to mop up the stragglers which can't be seen so it's very difficult to measure effectiveness.
Your oncologist won't give you chemo if they don't think there is a potential benefit--treatments get delayed for all sorts of reasons but the schedule has been designed to give best benefit so they generally want to stick to that as closely as possible. What's with the delay with your lumbar results? That isn't helping, I'm sure, particularly since it's such a pleasant experience in the first place :/
