Tonya, what I am hearing from you is that your first 2 opinions both said they do not know when to take you off of chemo. So, really, you have not received any opinions on which to base a plan. I feel like you want to know what your next step is going to be when the time is right. You want to have a plan in place.
I agree that too many opinions can be confusing. I got 3 when I was deciding what chemo to do. All 3 were different! BUT, I learned a little more from each one. And got more clarity each time. I think I got better at knowing what to ask and how to weigh the answers. I am also a believer in what you might call signs from God. Little things you pick up along the way that point you towards solutions...
I hope you find what you are seeking. Keep the faith.
