Detailed answer..
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query,seen his reports and understand your concern.
It is really very sad to know that your father is in stage 4.
The fact is that it is a untreatable condition.
Maximum we can do is to increase the lifespan of your father by giving chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy may extend the life by few years.
Without chemotherapy the lifespan gets shortened to around few months to a year.
Most of the people are able to tolerate the side effects of chemotherapy.
You should definitely give chemotherapy to him along with love and best care by your entire family.
I wish him best of luck
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Thanks
