Very sorry to hear about your cancer.  
You mention preparing for the inevitable, but that may not be the case. Unless they have already handed you a terminal diagnosis, of course.
I'm not a medic. But I know that in some cases, and I hope you are one of them, colon cancer, spread to liver, can still be treated with curative intent. So my advice is to get as much information as possible, learn about the different options, then decide what you want to do.
There are known centres of excellence in the UK for colon cancer. Do not hesitate to identify them, and seek a second opinion, if you are unsure of anything.
Wishing you all the best. x Harry

Hello Harry thanks loads for your response,  words are so powerful and yours have made me feel so much more hopeful .  My emotions have been all over since being told  but I have now  decided to keep positive whatever the outlook.  I have tried doing some research but nothing yet really thus the reason for joining the group for 1st hand experiences.  Thanks again for your kind words.

Hello Samxox thanks so much for your response. I have started and on my 3rd round of chemo it has been tough but as you said a strong mindset.  I have good days and bad days.  I did speak to a dietitian which was helpful.  I'm not on a low fibre diet but I normally avoid high fiber foods as my tummy can't cope with it.  I do eat beans and pulses with skin but avoid fruit skin.  Wishing your dad the very best.  And thanks so much for your response.
