Dad got results on Tuesday for some xrays and scans taken last week.  It looks like the tumor on his liver has shrunk from 4mm to 1mm, and has become hardly noticeable.  The rest of his tumors appear to still be about the same.  So that's good news.  However, in the "cocktail" he takes, there are certain drugs that his body can only take a certain amount of before the chemo itself becomes deadly.  So they'll have to adjust his cocktail to some new drugs that will hopefully maintain his current status.  He's also become more independent, and is actually driving himself around.  Short distances and time frames, but by himself.  So that's good news too.
As for his birthday, Clara and he have decided to have it on his birthday, Monday...not the Saturday before.  It will be a come-and-go thing after work, for those of us that work.  It will be for kids and spouses only, and a few of his friends, and Clara will have some easy-to-handle food and drinks out.  It won't last long but it should be fun.  So make plans, family, to be there on Monday night.
