Going into the unknown with father

Hi everyone,


Back in Nov my father started to have abdominal pain. After a few days he could not go to the bathroom at all. Went to the ER was admitted and rushed into surgery. Ended up discovering a stage 3 cancer tumor on his colon. Took out the tumor, part of his colon and his spleen. Now equipped with a colostomy bag.


Flash forward to now and he had a ton more tests done. Stage 4 liver cancer was found. Going to start chemo in 2 weeks. Doctor didn't say anything about life expectancy or anything. So I am not really sure what to expect when this journey begins.
