My dad had Stage 4 colon cancer with mets to the liver too. He was a lot older than you though and didn't do aggressive treatment. It got to the point where the Doctors told him it could be treated with meds like HIV because he wasn't a candidate for surgery either. For the sixish years you could barley tell he was sick, and to be honest I believe he passed away because his doctor wouldn't explore any other option because he was older and probably wouldn't recover well.
You're young and strong! If my dad made it that long doing the bare minimum then I hope you can make a full recovery. Chemo can do amazing things, and I wish you luck with everything!
