Don't forget "it isn't cancer until the pathologist says it is."  If G-d forbid some tissue does show unwanted results and you have to ondergo long term chemo I can tell you that it is as the doctor says "containable." My youngest sister has been on chemo for a very aggressive breast cancer w mets for 4 years and it has been contained. Original spots have gone and others have appeared but not in the same locations.  She was even c free for a while a few months ago. My prayers are with you and your family.
