My father has an advanced stage brain tumor and due to his age, doctors are saying surgery isn't an option and we should just wait. Is there really nothing else we can do or explore for him?

I'm really curious if there's a single test that can detect all types of cancer in the body. It would be amazing if something like that exists, but is it possible? How reliable would it be, and could it miss any forms of cancer?

My uncle has bowel cancer and his doctors said surgery isn't an option because he's not strong enough. He's getting worse every day and I'm really worried how can I send you his test results for a second opinion? What other treatment options might help him?

If surgery not an option, chemo, radiation, or palliative care can help manage bowel cancer; share test reports for second opinion with oncologist.

I'm really worried because my mom's been having bad low back pain for the past 10 days, and when the doctor did a CT scan, they mentioned her lungs are infected. They even said it could be lung cancer. Can you help me understand if it's really lung cancer or not? It's all so overwhelming, and I'm not sure what to think or do.
