Cancer In Main Artery, Slow Growth, Removed Intestine, Bleeding Stopped. Is That Progress?

Yes. My father has cancer wrapped around his main artery and was told that this is a slow growing cancer and that they would not be able to remove the cancer by surgery due to the area of the cancer. The doctor removed 2 feet of intestine from my father that had cancer. This was 2 1/2 years ago. My father woke up this morning with blood in his urine (like if a woman that is on her menstrual) he isnt bleeding anymore, so he says. What should i have him do? he doesnt want to go to the hospital.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hello sir ,
As u mention ur father had intestinal cancer involving the main artery in the abdomen indicates advanced stage of the disease . Thus treating doctor only removed intestine without doing complete resection which is more radical and life threatening to patient.
Now ur father had blood in urine (hematuria ) indicate either the cancer involving the genital system by infiltration . Either tumour infitration to bladder or to the kidney and ureter. These are the possibilities where it causes blood in urine.
Blood in urine in intestinal cancer also occur due to coagulopathy disorder , in ur father case its advanced stage thus , it might also due coagulation (bleeding ) disorder due to cancer . Which initially presents as blood in urine.
Consult ur father to the oncosurgeon so that further course of treatment can be planned as soon as possible. Hope for the best
