With you on this, we treat animals better. My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at 62 and with liver cancer at 63 - in his case we noticed he was off his food and the GP did palpitate his liver and this led to a scan and diagnosis. He died just over 6 months later, like your dad, in a lot of pain. Liver and pancreatic cancer need more focus for sure and all the pain relief that can be thrown at them.
