Hi Michka,
I also had neoadjuvant chemo and this delayed my surgery for about 8 months. I think that the time frame of waiting , at least in my case, was well worth the potential risks. Because of having chemo while there was still measurable tumor present, I was able to see just how effective my chemo regimen was. If the tumor is removed first, there is no way to assess the effectiveness of the chemo and you just have to have faith that it was the right one. I hope this makes you feel at least a little better. I too questioned for a long time if I had made the right decision, but now I am very glad I did.
