<s>[INST] hi. i am from India and I am looking for treatment of my father suffering from T3N1M1 colorectal metastasis to the liver. There are 4 patches on his liver, the largest being 7 cm, on both lobes. 64 cms of large intestine has been removed due to tumour blocking the intestine. Pre-colectomy surgery, his BBV and CEA (3.6) was normal. His SGPT, SGOT are normal. His ALP is high at 156. 64 yrs old, wt reduced from 78 kgs to 58 kgs in a year. The oncologist we have seen has suggested chemo with Oxaliplatin and Xelodo. What are the chances for the liver tumour to shrink and that he can survive for the next 3 yrs? [/INST] Hi, the liver is the most important organ for life, and it is in critical stage. And his is also removed to a maximum length.  The doctors are trying their level best for saving him. As he is 64 the possibility of bearing the medicine is also doubt full. anyhow something must be tried to save him.  Don't worry he will be fine, let your father practice meditation, and hearing music as a diversion procedure.  Besides medication give him 200 ml of juice of vegetables, (carrot, beet root, tomato and other palatable ones) </s>
