Good Evening all, 

Completely new on the forum and just giving it a try to see if others have been in this position and how they managed to get through it. 

3 weeks ago my stepdad went to the doctors with a sore stomach and was referred immediately to hospital. After undergoing a scan, they detected a tumour inside his large intestine.
 

My stepdad underwent surgery to have the tumour removed however it had already spread to his peritoneum and has metastasised  within his lymph nodes. 
 

We were informed that this is not able to be cured by treatment and that the only option is palliative chemo. He is in severe pain at the moment and on strong pain killers. This is extremely hard to watch him suffer at home in this way and even harder to process in our heads that he is likely to only have months left to live. 
 

Any advice greatly appreciated,

Andy
