[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. Sorry to hear about the disease progress in your father. Cancer staging is important when evaluating treatment options. If your father has been told to be taken care of at home then it might be stage 4 bowel cancer. In this stage the survival of a patient can be 6 months to 2 years. It is important to know where the cancer has spread. The survival can be increased by taking care of him better and helping him reduce the pain. Please give him adequate pain medicines and if he is unable to hake normal meals then providing small meals frequently might help. Please do not worry.
