Re: Neoadjuvant Roll Call
I did not have neoadjuctive chemo, I had lumpectomy then chemo and Rads, but this raises a question....when I finished my chemo I had a follow up mammo and the radiologist was concerned about some calcifications (could be DCIS). It was recommended that the area be biopsied. I agreed and Thank God it was not... But.... Having just had chemo, shouldn't that have wiped out any DCIS That may have been hiding? I know I sound naive but hell, I went throughout the chemo in case a rouge cell got free. Why would I not expect it to wipe out DCIS, Kinda like neoadjuctive . When I asked this of my onc, she didn't agree with my thinking....thoughts anyone?
