Please can someone help me.
My father has just been diagnosed with metastatic cancer from rectal primary tumor. He will start targeted radiation in two weeks as part of palliatve treatment followed by chemotherapy. The oncologist was very clear this is not a cure it is to help with pain management and to help stop the primary tumor growing (its a big tumor). We did not discuss life expectancy.
With this treatment can you live several years or am i being unrealistic?
