Hi all (1st post so apologies if something wrong with it)

- my father age 74 recently was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer which had spread to his liver (only small lump). He had the surgery and has just completed 3 months of Chemo. Got some good news today 11th Jan, that the CT scan was clear, however we were then given some confusing advice - He needs an MRI on the liver as the CT scan isn't 100% accurate there. We weren't told how accurate a CT scan is or a MRI scan is for picking up cancer post chemo. Also we were told that both the MRI and CT scans aren't accurate enough, so they have suggested 3 more months of Chemo despite not finding cancer.

My father was strong with the 1st 3 months of chemo but of course it has done some mental and physical damage. He can probably cope with 3 months more, however, he'd much rather not if scans are 'accurate'.

So looking to see if this is 100% the best idea and double checking there's no other scans, private or NHS available to check cancer post chemo to determine if 3 more months of Chemo are necessary / the best advice.
