Wow... I'm surprised they said the chemo would stop the growth. I am not sure that they can guarantee that, but I honestly hope they are right.

If there are patients here who've had rads and chemo and their cancer continues to grow then I am not sure how they can state for certain that the tumor will not continue to grow.

Best of luck (from the bottom of my heart)
You are at good hospitals so I have hope that they are right.

hugs. Let us know how it goes.
