My dad is 82 & has just been diagnosed with bowel cancer that has spread to his liver. He has been given options. Operate on the bowel & chemo, just chemo, or do nothing. We are worried that due to his age he might not recover from the anesthetic if he has the op & also the chemo will take away the quality of life he has. Has anyone else been in this situation & how the hell do you make this kind of life changing decision?
