Just wondering if anyone is having or had chemo before or instead of chemo and if so how many cycles it took before they noticed any difference in their lump? I had chemo in Oct '17 after having a WLE. I was diagnosed in January with a recurrence and have had one cycle of Caboplatin, with my second cycle due tomorrow. My lump increased in size whilst I was waiting for chemo, but my onc said she wasn’t surprised and that the chemo would shrink it and reduce the pain. I think the pain has got a little better, but I can’t see or feel any reduction in the lump. I’m not sure if I’m worrying unnecessarily and it would normally take a few cycles before there’s any noticeable difference.
I’d be grateful if anyone could let me know about their experience, thank you x
