I wish I had the answers for you Sheila but I don't. Have you discussed your questions with your oncologist? I've seen others on this forum where they are on chemo for a few years, then depending, the oncologist takes them off it, monitors them, obviously, to see if anything changes. Then there are others that never have stopped taking chemo. Hopefully, others will respond with their thoughts to your question. I would reach out to your oncologist tho and ask as well to see what they think.
