So here's more of an update: The cancer has indeed spread to the bones (spine, ribs and pelvis) which is causing a majority of the pain. I see a radiation oncologist on Friday to help alieviate the pain. The pain is mostly under control for now after trying several different med combinations, and the radiation should help with the worst of it.
The insurance has been a bit of a pain because of the cost of some of the meds, but we've worked things out. I will be getting scheduled for an MRI of the brain. Nervous about things, but dealing with them the best I can.
- Michael McKean
Amen, Louis.

@JPL_Richard Thank you very much, Richard! Your thoughts mean a great deal to me and are more helpful than you can imagine!

I went to the oncologist yesterday. The cancer has spread to the liver and probably to the bones as well.

Ring of Stars in Centaurus A Uncovered - http://www.universetoday.com/2009...
Nov 23, 2009
from
"Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is one of the most studied objects in the Southern sky, because it is the giant elliptical galaxy with the closest proximity to our own Milky Way. It lies 11 million light years away from the Milky Way, and is believe to have merged with another gaseous galaxy about 200 to 700 million years ago. The result of this galactic mashup: the birth of hundreds of thousands of stars in a kiloparsec-spanning ring near the core."

No fever so far this time.
