Hi guys, 5 years ago my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer and he was fine after the operation.
But yesterday, doctor found new lesions on both his lungs and liver, if cancer cell is found on liver, it means the cancer has spread throughout the body.
I know how serious this is, there should already be signigicant symptoms, but I think my dad intentionally hid it from me and my siblings.
Refer to the CT scan report below.

The first opinion given to us is to proceed for chemo but I kinda heard some new treatment has been made available for cancer in the past 2 years, if anyone of you who has information or recommendation for clinical oncologist, I would very much like to take chance to explore 2nd and 3rd opinions.

Many thanks smile.gif

the keyword is immunotherapy. technically they are considered neo/adjuvant (extra) treatment, added to main chemo or surgical resection plans. but whatever the case, one of the things you should ask any prospective specialist is if immunotherapy is part of the option.
