Hi John, welcome, from another New Englander.
Glad you caught things early, makes a big difference. Look like you have a good start. One item to be aware is the care giver, and family impact, even if you have older kids. only after 2 years did I learn how hard the kids took the initial news, everyone hears the diagnosis of stage 3 and assumes the worst. Even for the caregiver it is a huge emotional and physically draining road, strengthen it up early, plan for some extra help.
Here is a news article I just came across last week, didn't see it on OCF sight but probably there. Might be an interesting add to your medical discussions if you fit the category.
