My dad was told in November he has bowel cancer he had a blockage on his bowel which was at 90% so he had to get a stent put in his bowel they said it looked like it had spread to his lungs and it was confirmed yesterday it has went to his lungs and it is also in his lymph nodes in his stomach my dad is 75 we were told yesterday that he can have intense chemotherapy but obviously the side affects could be bad or he could go for the minimum chemo tablet form which the doctor advised me would be best I am just looking to see if anyone has been in this situation who could help me with some information as I just don't know what will be best for my dad many thanks
