Sorry to hear all the problems. This is quite complicated. Only thing I have to say is if all the chemo given to your Dad did not shrink the tumor and it grew again in between chemo infusions, this is not a good sign. Basically, the type of cancer he now has is not responding to the drugs. Even though, there may be some shrinking but it grows again, that chemo treatment is not going to work. Sorry and hope they find the right therapies.
