Chemo before and after surgery

hi i had chemo before surgey and have been told i need some more after surgey has anyone else had to do this? op went well and there was very little cancer cells left (less than 10%) nodes clear but originally had some in.

 

thanks lizzy

  • Hi  i believe chemotherapy before operation was to shrink cancer so a smaller operation, and chemotherapy after to kill any loose cancer cells after op , remember some really small cancer cells cannot be seen in a scan , hence chemo after .

    Good luck with treatment and everything else.
