Hi LJG so sorry to hear about your Dad such a horrible thing to happen. The advice i would give you is when and if he starts chemo keep him eating and drinking fluids as the immune system can become very weak and open to lots of infections and other problems and also if he does eat etc then it will help him fight the cancer and has been proven life expectancy can go up dramatically so keep that in mind. At least he has will power to fight it. And tresure the time you have with him as you dont know how long he has or anyone for that matter. Sending hugs -Diane

Thanks you so much your advice, its really useful. Im staying as positive as I can for him. Today we found that is Chemo will begin next week and he will be on 'XELOX' which is a bowel cancer chemotherapy. He has to have a 2 hour session in hospital followed by 2 weeks of tablets, then a week off and the cycle repeats. after so long they will give him a reset and during this rest peroid they will do all the scans they need to do and Fingers Crosssed it will go in our favour!! even if it cant be cured i still hope he will be here for a long time yet! and still pray for a mircale. He is fighting this all the way!!!!!!
