My 78yr old dad was sadly diagnosed with cancer in A&E last night. Lung, spine, ribs and Glands. They havent given him any further information or plan yet. 

What can we expect the next steps to be?

We are all so shocked and worried. 

Has anyone got any experience of cancer which has spread in an 78yr old where they were offered chemotherapy etc... im so worried the doctors won't offer treatment. 

Any advice or guidance welcome. 

Thanks.
