Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your father's situation and problem.
Since he is having liver metastasis, he is having stage 4 neuroendocrine tumour. It is inoperable tumour.
So only palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, pain management and nutritional support are required.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your father.
Thanks.
