Chemotherapy + Response

I'm wondering too! I've only had 2 treatments so far. My oncologist expects the chemo to get rid of the 3 turmors! I am curious about scans after chemo and before surgery/rads. Do they usually check? Or just move on to the next type of treatment and check at the end?

My tumor shrank noticeably after the first few treatments and the ultrasound after chemo but before surgery showed no evidence of tumors. Surgery confirmed that I had PCR to the chemo.

Even if you don’t notice obvious shrinkage though, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the tumor isn’t reacting to the chemo. From what I’ve read on the boards, sometimes the lump stays mostly the same, even though the cancer is dead/dying.
