Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has terminal stage stomach cancer. So surgery or chemotherapy will not cure the disease. it is used as palliative treatment only. Despite of all treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. One should not expect much from terminal stage cancer. Just pain killer and symptomatic treatment should be given now.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
