Bowel removel

Was just wondering if any one out there has a similar experience my dad had bowel cancer, he had a total boweland rectom removel and now has a colostomy bag. Three months later had fluid on his lung lining unfortunately the cancer had spread to his lungs the fluid was bad for about 3 weeks but hasn't returned after 4 months and didn't need talc to close because it was healing by its self this confuses me???? Had a phone call a couple of day ago he now has tumors on his liver. Any experience or info on simerler cases?? Just want to here different experiences so I can get a picture of what may happens next.
