No, he didn't have to do chemo before the surgery. The team was quite confident that they could remove it without neoadjuvant therapy. Actually, everything happened so fast, he's just now starting to process the whole situation which the doctor said is what happens sometimes. I took him to the ER on 6/13 and on 7/13 he had the surgery. They moved so quickly which we're so grateful for. The chemo consult is in two weeks.
