Re the chemo, you first have to find out what their recommendation is as it could be many different combinations and approaches. Come back and I'm sure you'll get responses. One thing is pretty clear though, that the current trend is to give smaller weekly doses as opposed to larger spread out doses in some of the chemos. It appears to lessen the toxicity side effects without reducing the desired benefits.
