Hi There,
I am pleased to hear that you have had minimal side effects with the Chemo, monitor your pain and sensation so you can mention it at future appointments. There are people who have had surgery following successful shrinkage by chemo, and I am sure some will get in contact on the forum. They are a good bunch and often understanding others journeys can be a good support.
All the best
