Has anyone had chemo to shrink the tumor then found after the op there was still some cancer in lymph nodes? I know I have to have radioptherapy but wondering about possibility of ore chem?
sorry no-one seems to have come along to answer you on this one. I can’t offer an answer as I didn;t ahve chemo before or after surgery, just thought I’d bump it back up to see if anyone responds.
Good luck
Hi Smiler11,
I had chemo first ( 3 x AC, 4 x Tax) this was followed by a mastectomy and full axillary clearance, out of the 10 nodes taken away, 7 were positive, My Oncologist said I was to have radiotherapy - 25 sessions - up to my neck. He never suggested anymore chemotherapy, thankfully.
I must add that I feel fine now, I’m having Herceptin as I was HER2+++. But on my last check-up they were very pleased with my progress.
Hope this helps and good luck with your treatment,
Tracy
