Thank you. I am still learning all the lingo and so many different drug names, as I try to get my 'cup half empty' guy to think 'cup half full' since we found the PC at stage 1.

My information is that only 20% are suitable for surgery as initial therapy. In my case, I have been given a diagnosis of borderline surgery, meaning that the neoadjuvant (before surgery) could make it possible for surgery to be performed. It would be nice to not need the chemo before, knowing that after surgery, I would still need to have more chemo. So being able to have surgery initially would seem to me like it would be likely that less chemo is needed overall. A blessing indeed.
