I too send my best thoughts and wishes. My mom recently went through breast cancer and is just now approaching 5 years. I'm sure your stomach will be affected differently by what treatment they recommend. If they caught it soon enough, they might not do chemo. My mom had a lumpectomy and radiation. She did have stomach issues right after surgery due to the little moving around she did. It was rough, but I don't think as bad as she thought.

I would stay focused on finding out how much you can so that your treatment is less unknown and therefore, scary. I would also use alternative treatments (hypnotherapy, acupunture) as much as you can to help control anxiety. Hang in there. Post any and all questions you have as they arise. There are so many wonderful people with great advice or wonderful support to offer.
