Hi, my father is 89 and has been in very good health although he has a lot of medication that have helped. He has a history of heart problems but just yesterday was diagnosed witht colon cancer with masses in the abdomen and it has spread to his liver and lungs. Anyone have experience with this and know what might help him? He's being referred to a gastrointestinal person and has pretty much decided against radiation or chemo (said he'd lose the little hair he has). I thought there might be some medication that helps.

My Mother had colon cancer but died about 22 years ago of it, back then the treatment was not as good as it is today. You might also want to try posting this on Colorectal Cancer, there you will find a lot of people all going through the same thing as your Dad.
Wishing you all the best and welcome to CSN
