Suggest Treatment For Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer

My father was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer that has spread to the liver. He is also type II diabetic - he starts his chemo/radiation treatment on Tuesday, Feb 3rd. His sugar level is currently 208, so he took a glypicide pill, should I take him to the hospital anyway. He did have a mini stroke in November of 2013

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your father has oesophagus cancer stage 4. Surgery is not helpful at this stage. Only treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So he should take it according to his doctor's advice.
