My Father who is Over 78 las been losing weight and appatite.  Doctor sent him to hospital as  a GPA were they  did a scan and say he has a large mass on his liver and a nodule on the lung and they cannot  do anything! Sending him home with some medicines. The consultants were going to meet this week but I have not heard from them all week and I am worried my father will not get any treatment as he is fragile and has lost a lot of weight and because the mass is very large over 12 cm the hospital tells me - How bad is this? I am searching on the net but I don't understand the liver mass Stage 1,2,3 or 4 they refer to and  I do not know what that means for a 12cm liver mass? 

Can anyone advise what I can do to understand what is happening to him and how to get more information from the hospital on what can be done?  

Thank you

Carla
