Thumbs down Cancer carrier?

My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in Novemeber last year and his life prediction was 12-18months...however he went through experimental treatments and the cancer shrunk to a relatively small size so if radiation didnt kill it, operating was a back up method...he's been really sick recently and went to the doctor to learn he has 2 blood clots in his chest and hemroids? After staying in hospital over night the doctors said that the cancer carrying cells are in his chest now and has fluid around his heart...what exactly does that mean?

You need to ask the doctor to clarify but it probably means that the cancer has metastasized and his body is fighting it in another spot
