Advice: Delays in oncology appointment

Long story short, my dad was diagnosed with liver tumors. They suspect it metastisized from somewhere else in his body. Apparently it's very aggressive because his biopsy showed a Ki-67 of >95%.

His biopsy results were delivered on 5/8/2026 and the first available oncology appointment is 6/2/2026. This is nearly a 4 week wait. Meanwhile his bilirubin count has been doubling every 5 days.

Does anyone have advice for how to accelerate this process? I worry, at this rate, he doesn't have another 20 days in him.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
