Hi
Your father is suffering from stage 4 lung cancer.
Treatment at this stage consist of palliative chemotherapy along with basic supportive care to improve quality of life.
Pain in stomach and esophagus is very common after chemotherapy.
I would advise Dicyclomine tablets twice daily and syrup Mucaine suspension thrice daily which is an antacid containing Aluminium hydroxide for 3 days starting from day after chemotherapy.
Warm regards
