What Causes Yellowness And Grayness During Chemo For Liver Cancer?
My brother has colon cancer and stage iv liver cancer. He is on his last round of chemo. Yesterday he was yellowish and today he is gray. Does this indicate liver failure? We know that that his chances are bleak, he has already had pancreatitis but could the chemo itself be shutting down liver?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that yellowish color after chemotherapy and liver cancer stage four is the result of dysfunction of liver. As it is spread to many organs the chances of good prognosis is very low. But it is necessary to start and continue the chemotherapy.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
