Average Weight - 164.3lbs / 74.525kgs - down 1.0lbs / 0.454kg
Average Weight was calculated over the last 7 days - 165.0 / 164.6 / 164.2 / 163.4 / 163.6 / 163.0 / 165.8 = 164.23
Average daily calorie intake based on last weeks body weight (165.3 lbs)
Nett (after cardio) 2,274 (x13.76)
Gross (before cardio) 2,598 (x15.72)
Nett target was 2,149 kcals (body weight x13)
Cardio - for consistency anything over 35,000 steps in a week will be logged as cardio, for every step over that figure 0.05 kcals will be deducted as cardio (this is assuming 2000 steps = 1 mile of walking and 100 kcals burned), should I do any running or cycling this will be logged separately - this week was 45,381 steps over
Average daily macros (c/p/f are from food only)
carbs @ 36.30% (235.74g)
protein @ 30.85% (200.35g)
fats @ 28.33% (82.73g)
alcohol @ 4.11%
Goal for upcoming week - week 8 of the cut (aim to lose 1 - 1.2 lb this week, started at 172, target is now see how I look each week, once I start leaning out too much (gaunt face, looking flat etc I will stop cut), nett caloric target will be 2,136 (body weight in lbs x13), will aim to eat 2,300kcals (x14.01) per day and take 8,280 steps per day (daily average) to compensate increased calories over nett goal of x13 plus additional steps to compensate for any alcohol that I consume on Sunday as we have our annual potato race, I don't participate as I leave that to the youngsters but I do the pub bit afterwards, lol.

Presume it can’t be surgically removed as well?

No, she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in November 2015 but due to the location of the tumour it was not operable (too close to a major vein and an artery), the intention at that point was to give her a very tough 6 month chemotherapy regime (FOLFIRINOX) to try and reduce the tumour to see if removal was an option.
The scans showed that the tumour had reduced in size slightly and markers were suggesting a major reduction in activity (they even suggested that there was no active cancer left in the tumour), the surgeon then did an exploratory investigation (Laparoscopy) to see if they could remove the tumour but they discovered it had spread to her Peritoneum so removal was no longer an option.
She then had 12 months of Gemcitabine & Abraxane to try and deal with the secondary cancer but after 12 months it was still progressing slowly so they dropped the Abraxane as she was suffering with her platelets not recovering but added another drug (Tarceva) to try and slow the progression rather than cure.
Having a very rough time with it now, has to have an ascitic drain approximately every 4 weeks, can barely walk more than a couple of minutes, sleeps about 10-12 hours a night and has a long nap in the afternoons, has to have most of her meals prepared for her and has lost shit loads of weight.

Nothing else to say but that sucks, and good luck. Hope she kicks cancer in the nuts.

That would be a minor miracle, diagnosis is 'not if it progresses but when', just hope it's a long time but the statistics with this cancer are pretty dire, 1% survive 10 years
