Depends time: Most of the surgeons andoncologists will agree, to start chemo when the fascia wound is healed, 2 to 3 wks, as collagen has to formed, other wise wound will disrupt, how ever for a minor procedures could be given little early. If it is only skin disruption after 3 wks could be given.

Not a good idea: I would not. I would wait until it heals up.
