A little good news.
 

Okay guys, sorry I've been a little slack on the updates, but I haven't had a lot to report until now. Last week I had some more scans done, and saw the doctor today to get the results, and the news was encouraging. The primary tumor in the pelvis has shrunk a little, and although still not operable, is going in the right direction. The secondary tumors on the liver have also improved a little as well. The doctor is also optimistic that the growths showing in the lung are not associated with the cancer, but look more like nodes or scar tissue from a previous illness.
As for the chemotherapy, I've had five sessions now, with seven to go. After that some more scans will be done to determine whether anything can be achieved surgically.

Great!
