My dad is 56. diagnosed 12/7/16 with stage 4 colorectal cancer, liver metastases and perforated colon. what's his prognosis if he starts chemo 1/11/17?

Fair: Metastatic colon Ca treatable if primary lesion resected. What is in liver remains in liver to be treated by microwave ablation or chemoembolization. Question about perforation which releases cells into peritoneal cavity that can be treated by hyperthermic perfusion and systemic chemo. Immunotherapy with mAb targeting mutated MUC5ac coming into play.
