My dad has stage 4 bowel cancer which has spread to his liver. He is undergoing no treatment and has now developed jaundice. Does this mean that the end is near?
I am so sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis. It is so sad that his cancer has spread to his liver and that he has developed jaundice. We have information on our website on advanced bowel cancer which you can find on this page and which I hope will help you understand more about living with advanced bowel cancer.
Unfortunately no one here will be able to tell you what your dad's prognosis might be - perhaps the medical experts who look after him will be able to give you an indication as to how advanced the cancer is and what to expect, whether there are treatment options still available to him. So don't hesitate to ask them all these questions.
Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 40 40 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if there is anything you would like to talk to them about.
