Hi, Star! It is super that you are being your dad's primary caregiver and advocate. Each patient needs such a person. If you ask about longevity, you will get statistics, and old ones at that. Each person is different and new discoveries continue to be made. Hang in there. There is always hope. I'm glad you dad decided to try chemo again. It's best not to read much into his initial reactions to everything, and to wait and see. He is very scared and very tired. And men are notorious for not wanting to be fooled with, not asking questions, and making snap judgments, etc. You can be a great help to him, as you already have been. Keep us posted and let us know how we may help you further. Don
