My 71 year old father was diagnosed with bowel cancer in September 2010, after further tests it was confirmed that the cancer had spread to his liver.
Tomorrow, 20th Oct, he is having a stoma op. As yet because of his weakness he had been unable to start chemo.
Does anybody else know of anybody that has been through this. I also hate to ask the question of fear of receiving the answer, but will my dad be here for Christmas.

We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
