Stage 4 cancer can not be cured by chemotherapy. It is given only to prolong life, only if it is not harming the body in the form of side effects. Palliative care is best at this tie. Most important is pain relief if he has pain. Remember pain is curable at any or every stage of cancer. Rest you can discuss with me.
