Hi Lisy,

So sorry to read about your Dad. 

Have they said exactly why he is too ill for chemo and whether he might be OK some time in the future? I ask because sometimes chemo is ruled out due to everyday infections like a cold or flu which are eventually sorted out. Chemo weakens the immune system so even catching a cold can be serious if you're on chemo.

Surgery, chemo and radio-therapy can all be used for treating this type of cancer. In my case surgery and RT were ruled out because of its location close to my aorta

Good luck for Friday.

Dave

I'm sorry to hear that and hope you're OK.  they said it was because of my Dad's general health. He has diabetes, neuropathy, arthritis and angina. They said he wouldn't cope with it especially as it can effect the nerves and he already has nerve damage
