My 80 year dad has been diagnoised with colon cancer, some cancer on his lungs and in his lymph nodes. He begins radiation tomorrow for 10 days then possibly chemo. I am going with him to the radiation treatment. Is it proper for me to ask the oncoligist what stage of cancer he has and what the prognotious could be?
