Stage 4 Bowel cancer

Hi everyone

My uncle who is 78  just been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer   He has a restriction in his bowel and also has two lesions on his liver 

He is starting chemo in 2 weeks 

I am looking for some positives, as his brother died of the same a year ago and a friend in her 40’s died of the same Christmas Day 

If anyone has had the same and survived please let me know xx
