Hi, The type of bc you have will determine your course of treatment. While most breast cancers are treated with surgery followed by chemo - certain types of breast cancer, (like the one I had - inflammatory breast cancer ) is ALWAYS treated with chemo first, then surgery. Sounds to me that you have a good surgeon - who''s covering all bases. Ann Chemo hats: www.cjhats.com
