Hello all, We just found out today that my dad’s cancer cc is spreading. We we were initially told that the cancer was contained within the tumor that was just beneath the liver, however, the vessels have fused around the tumor. He just had 2 quarts of fluid removed and they found cancer cells. They scheduled him for chemo this Wednesday 11/22. We were told it is an aggressive cancer and he may only have several months. The chemo will take place at NYU medical center in NYC. We also have another doctor which performed endoscopic surgeyr last week to replace stents with metals ones. He is affiliated with Lenox Hill hospital also in NYC. Apprently there is a new treatment that he is familiar with that we just found out would be covered by my dad’s insurance. Unfortunatly, I just received this information today (Monday) and he is already scheduled for chemo in two days. I hope to reach his doctor at Lenox Hill tomorrow, which might be difficult as he is very busy lectoring as well. I’m afraid I will not be able to get this info in enough time to have both doctor discuss and decide on the best treatment. I’m afraid that if the cancer doesn’t do him in soon…the chemo will. Is chemo the way to go?
