Hi Scott,
Welcome to the forum. Many of us were advanced stage before it was detected. Keep us in the loop, go with him to the doctor visits and take very thorough notes.

I have a friend that had a 6 lb. rectal tumor! How do you not notice that?!?!? Stranger things have happened - just try to move forward from this point. We are here to help in any way we can.
