Hi,
Im looking for some information really and wondered if anyone could help...

My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in his larynx in March this year and it has since spread to his liver...the tumor in his larynx is now very large and very visable from the outside...

He has had 3 rounds of chemo and radiotherapy that has not worked...he is very tired and taking alot of morphine now and im scared about how much longer he may have (or not have).

I would appreciate any advice,
Thanks.

Hi ToryB, I am very sorry about your father's cancer. I do not know how long he still has but I do know that you should make the most of every moment you still have with him. It sounds like it is now a stage 4 cancer with metastasis to the liver.

You and your father are in my thoughts and prayers.
