    When I was first at mayo, they briefly considered doing chemo before the surgery as they said it was showing some good results. I imagine it was to try to kill off any wandering cancer cells before surgery, because my tumor was otherwise very operable. However, I really didn’t want to wait…just wanted the tumor gone ASAP.

    Oops, this is from 2009 but showed up in my nightly googling tonight for some reason. Grrr!

    Apologies all, a bit dated this is.

    Perhaps this (one) case will trigger further investigation into neoadjuvant therapy.
