My father was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer back in the summer of 2017. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy did nothing so they operated to remove his bowel, colon and bladder. A year later the cancer had spread to his liver. They were going to operate, but following another scan, they found further tumours in his lung and pelvis.
The Oncologist explained that there is no cure other than palliative chemotherapy for the next three months, followed by another scan in Dec.
I'm finding it hard to get a straight answer as to how long he might have left? Also, is palliative chemotherapy really worth it? it is of course his decision and I will fully support him, but just wondered about other people's expriences?
