PG, welcome. I'm sorry you have to be here, but it's a great place under the circs. You sound as though you're getting excellent care. You didn't mention whether or not your docs have recommended radiation or chemo. If they do you'll find plenty of people here who can help you through that experience as well.

If you'd like you can make yourself a signature. There's a page of abbreviation explanations on one of the forums if you need help.

Stay in touch. Your attitude is wonderful!
