MY FATHER IS 60 YEARS WITH ADVANCED COLON CANCER. HE HAS HAD THREE SURGERIES. THE FIRST TO REMOVE HIS APPENDIX, THE SECOND TO REMOVE PART OF HIS COLON AND THE THIRD WAS A RESECTION. THE CANCER WAS DISCOVERED WITH THE AFTER THE FIRST SURGERY BUT TREATMENT WAS WITHELD FOR FOUR MONTHS UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO GET INSURANCE. AFTER THE SECOND SURGERY HE WAS PUT ON CHEMO FOR SEVEN OR EIGHT MONTHS. HE HAS BEEN WITH A NG TUBE FOR THREE MONTHS DUE TO THE TUMORS BEING THROUGHOUT HIS INTESTINE. HE IS UNABLE TO EAT BUT IS GETTING NORISHMENT THROUGH TPN. HE HAS HAD ONLY FOUR ROUND OF CHEMO BUT THE DOCTOR STATES THAT THERE IS NO CHANGE IN HIS CONDITION. HIS DOCTOR WILL NO LONGER GIVE HIM CHEMOTHERAPY. HE HAS A FEW BOWEL MOVEMENT AND A NURSE STATED THAT SHE COULD HEAR A FEW BOWEL SOUNDS. HE THINKS THE THE BOWEL MOVEMENTS WAS ONLY SPASMS.THE STOMACH CONTENTS THAT COMES FROM HIS NG TUBE HAS DECREASED GREATLY. THE DOCTOR SUGGESTS THAT WE PUT HIM IN HOSPICE AND JUST LET THE DISEASE TAKE ITS COURSE. WE SEE SMALL CHANGES. SHOULD MY FAMILY SEEK A SECOND OPINION? HE WAS DIAGNOSED IN OCTOBER OF 2009.
