Sorry, Frances, this is a breast cancer site, and we don't have the background to answer questions about other types of cancer. That said, I'd suggest that your father follow his oncologist's suggestion, as to chemo. And if he feels uncertain, he (or you) should ask to be referred to another doctor for a second opinion. Good luck - PJH
