Hi,
Thanks fir writing in.

Your dad seems to be having stage 4 cancer if the disease started in his large intestine and spread to liver and lymphnodes. This is a difficult condition to treat completely and patient survival is extended with chemotherapy. The average survival of patients with cancer in large bowel with spread to liver and lymphnodes is two years.

He surely is having a lot of pain and discomfort due to which he is getting morphine. Please allow him to be comfortable and discuss pain relief with the doctors. Right now he needs to be given enough pain relief medicines that might help control his pain. Please do not worry.
