My first visit with an oncologist. Good news.

3. Based on my observation of a stage-4 patient in the family,

I am ready to conclude, that cancer is not a immediate death sentence. It is more of a chronic disease now.
The treatments they have now, with chemo of multitude variety combined with immuno-therapy drugs,
which is what my wife has been doing for 2 years, her cancer is not growing or spreading. Sure, the
treatment is intense and knocks her out for a week or so with nausea and fatigue, but the next 2 weeks
she can do all the normal activities. Currently her treatments are every 3 weeks.

Best luck to you and your cancer seems to be caught in time which is very lucky.
My wife had no symptoms at all, until she started having rib pain which would not go away,
and at that point she was already at stage-4. Cancer is a sneaky disease for sure.
