Good Morning All, 

My dad has recently been diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer, everything has happened so quickly it's hard to keep up, especially with all the Medical jargon. 
 

little bit of background information my dad is fit and well, he went to a&e with a pain in his abdomen (thinkng maybe it could have been appendix) he had a scan and was informed he has colon cancer which had spread to both lungs and liver. 
 

fast forward 2months he's undergone colostomy surgery (permanent) which has healed lovely and he's getting on well with it. 

Diagnosis: 

moderate to poorly differentiated metastatic rectisignoid adencarcinoma- multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules, hepatic nodules and multiple peritoneal nodules

MSI stabke

KRAS c.35G> 

He'a been offers palliative XELOX chemotherapy due to start in the next few weeks. 
 

has anyone been in the same situation or have any advice? We've been told he only has two years if he responds well to the chemo... such a hard blow. 
 

our worlds been turned upside down
