My Dad has Stage 3 cancer and suffers from Alzemheirs and needs full time car. He has had a succesful removal of a single tumour from the lower rectum and has a temp stoma. The surgery has left his mind worse than previously from a man who could look after himself(so to speak) to one that while still there needs looked after. The question is chemo. The doctors don't recommend it as it would further damage his mind and it would only decrease the chances of cancer coming back by 10%. Overall they've given him a 50% chance even though they removed the cancer and only 1/13 lymph nodes tested cancerous. They have also found a cist in the liver and plan to investigate
Hard to tell if chemo is really worth it.
