Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has stage 4 throat cancer. No treatment will cure the disease. Chemotherapy help as palliative treatment. If he is not taking food thdn he is at very late stage. Life expectancy is just few months. Prognosis is very poor. No treatment should be given.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
