I found out via a Facebook message, not a phone call that my dad has stomach cancer stage 4, first week stomach cancer diagnosis, the very next week imaging test showed it's in pancrease and liver he is not having any treatment, no surgery, chemo or radiation, no treatments at all. This was a little over a month ago, I talked to my dad a few days ago, his blood pressure was 200/119, he has always had high blood pressure but this is not good, my family is not talking or giving me any information. I need any kind of information, I know the outcome will not be good and he is going to die. Any experience, or information would be so appreciated.

Hi there
I can understand how that feels? Sorry to hear about your Dad's condition. There are several issues which may prompt a person not to take treatment, prohibitive cost is one, mis-information about treatment is another and finally post-operative chances of survival and prolonged care is another. You can speak to your family and discuss about it. Consider doing some research on the subject and then speak to your Dad about possible course of action. He may not be responsive, but you do need to try. It is in family's interest that he receives treatment. Good luck
