After having some more scans last week I saw the oncologist again today, and received some mixed news. The spots on the liver have gotten a little smaller, but the main pelvic tumor is still about the same size, and still active. So whilst it hasn't got any bigger, it hasn't shrunk to the point where surgery is possible. The oncologist is meeting with the surgeon on Friday to discuss my case, and he believes they will now try some radiation therapy as a last resort to see if that can help. He also told me that even if surgery becomes possible it is extremely high risk due to the large number of veins and nerves caught up in the main tumor. He then stated quite frankly that at the end of the day he doesn't believe thay can cure me because of the size and complexity of the tumor. I hope to know a little more about the immediate future after I see him again next Wednesday.
