Actually it's my friend who has cancer. It's in her liver, with one other site on her neck. Radiation is mostly useless for liver cancers (the cancer cells are hardier than liver cells, so the radiation does more damage than good). Today we go see what the chemical oncology specialist has to say about using chemotheraphy. There's no cure and no real hope for any reversal, so this is really about palliative care to slow the growth and reduce the severity of the symptoms.

P.S. Good luck with the new live-in relationship.
