Tony, reading your last post triggered a long lost memory of some advice my [lawyer] father gave me many years ago which was reiterated by Brian Hill to me not so long ago. The advice was that we should all, when we have reached a certain age, have a plan, a will, some good documentaltion, for how our final affairs should be handled. Once we have taken care of that, we can proceed with our lives without that worry.I would implore you to STOP reading about statistics unless it appeals to you to be one. You are you! Your reactions to chemo will be your own and you will get lots of good help here on how to deal with it. As far as milestones along this road- it occurs to me that everyday I wake up and get out of bed to greet the day is a milestone- a good one- stop driving yourself nuts- you have better things to do.
