Liver and brain? And a 90 year old man. Sounds awfully optimistic to call it treatable. But, if it is, more power to him.

that's similar to what I told my wife . I said , hey the guy is 90 years old so he's already done pretty good . Course , he has special government healthcare so if he wants to try survival the 'doctors' will probably be happy to oblige him .

I hope he is able to live the remainder of his life, however long or short it may be, with a minimum amount of discomfort.
What I think we all want to avoid is a Generalissimo Francisco Franco death watch.

Seems it is always "We can treat this"--yeah, but to what outcome?
Based on loved ones who have had cancer spread to the brain, it is not going to be pretty for his last few months.....and I predict it will be only a few months for him.
Sad to go out this way. I wish him the best.
Seems his family is really cancer prone....parents and siblings went this way.
