Welcome. I feel you were fortunate in finding the cancer at this stage and area now. Amidst concerns I would have would be "is there any value to using radiation treatments before the chemo? They did that in my case and it prolonged the growth a little bit. What about resection? Is it feasible? And when you get to the chemo point ask about chemo reactions and affects to heart and kidneys. Chemo can cause affects 5 or more years after it. Another area to learn from is http://www.chemocare.com--there you can get updated info on chemo types and system affects.

Not being sarcastic...but I wish I could concentrate on worrying about side effects that might occur 5 years from now.
