Ah, I see. You're right, that does not sound very promising, but you really never know. I am sorry that I do not have more comforting words of wisdom for you.
I suppose I do have one "never panic no matter what the doctor says because you just never know" story. My father's friend was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he had six weeks to live. His hair turned white. He sold all of his stuff so that it would be easier for his wife. Then he went in for his follow up visit. The doctor said, "Whoops. My mistake. You're fine. You don't have pancreatic cancer at all..." That was years ago, and he is doing fine, although his hair is still white....
That's great that you have someone to hold your hand through it all. It must be scary for those who have to go at it alone.
Good luck. Don't forget to let us know how it goes.
