Re: Chemo again?

i had chemo before surgery aswell. What chemo did you have prior to surgery? if you have the full course -6 TCH or ACT-H or FEC-D (like a/c) then you will not get any more chemo after. I have seen where they break up a full course but from my understanding of neoadjuvant they give you the entire treatment up front. I have seen some ladies on clinical trial who do the trial part first, surgery and then standard of care chemo
