What to expect? metastatic colorectal cancer

Hi all,

My dad has been diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer. It has spread to the liver and lungs. Doctors are not giving us much support or details, his eyes turned yellow, body now turning yellow. He is on antibiotics. No appetite, very gaseous, nauseating. What does this mean? What should we expect? Doctors have given up on him, his chemotherapy is more of an experiment rather than treatment. When he gets more sick and goes to emergency they quickly dismiss him and say there is nothing more they can do for him. Is this it? Can anything more be done by Doctors? Will the yellowness go away? Is it the liver shutting down? Will it get worse and if so how? Thank you in advance
