    Hi and welcome bird123. I
    Hi and welcome bird123. I haven't, but, several on here had chemo before surgery to shrink their tumor. Is that why you are having the chemo?

    Welcome to the site. I didn't have chemo, so, I can't help you with your question. I just want to say hi and to tell you to keep posting and you will get lots of support.

    port before surgery
    I have been undergoing chemo with a port since july 15th I have not had any surgery yet. My team of docs (onco,surgeon,and plastics)all agreed to start my treatment with chemo rather than surgery to try and shrink down my tumors. I don't know if I can hel you, since I am still new to this, but let me know!Monica
