Chemo first

I also had chemo first
I also had chemo first (triple neg inflammatory BC), 6 rounds TAC. My last chemo was Dec 9th and surgery Jan 14th. And there were no tests done prior to surgery to see how the cancer was, aside from palpating the breast. But you will get information with the surgical pathology report, they'll confirm the size of the tumor, clear margins, etc.
I hope this helps. I'm sending positive thoughts and energy for an easy surgery and quick recovery.
Hugs,

Thanks, Linda! It does help! My husband keeps saying they should do a test or something! I tell him they know what they are doing, I hope! Thanks again!0 -
Surgery First
I have tnbc, also. I was diagnosed as Stage IIa, Grade 3. I had surgery first which was followed by 4 rounds of A/C and 12 rounds of Taxotere. My last chemo was in August 2010. Congratulations of being finished with chemo. Some day it will be only a distant memory. Good luck on your surgery on March 31st. I will be thinking of you.0
