After a hi-res CT scan last night and a meeting with a surgeon today, my dad has told me that he also has multiple tumors in his liver, and that there is no surgical option. He will have a minor procedure tomorrow morning to get a biopsy and to place a stent to open up a duct that is being blocked by the tumor. Hopefully this will improve his liver function, and make him better able to withstand Chemo, that they are talking about starting next week.
Chemo is a palliative measure at this point. It may prolong his life and give him a better quality of life for longer, but it is unlikely to cure him. We can hope.
