1 Breast cancer in premenopausal women tends to be more aggressive, so chemotherapy is often part of the treatment plan. 2  Chemotherapy may be recommended for some women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer if the cancer is hormone-receptor-negative and HER2-positive.For more information on the specific characteristics of each cancer stage, visit the Breastcancer.org Stages of Breast Cancer page.). Chemotherapy is used after surgery to remove the breast cancer to get rid of any cancer cells that may be left behind and to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
It sounds like some of you did just a portion of the chemo before surgery; then finished up with more. I think in my case i'm kind of glad to be doing one thing at a time. It sounds challenging to do chemo after surgery when your body is trying to heal (even if they wait awhile).y last Chemo was on 9/16/10. On the 27th I get an ultrasound and mammogram and I meet with the surgeon on the 29th. anything has to be easier than the chemo! My left breast had the cancer and it was 3 1/4 cm and was a stage 2. After surgery I go to radiation for 5 weeks.
