Thanks for your question on HCM. Lung cancer is always spreading in nature. You can slow down the rate of spreading by chemotherapy and radiotherapy but you can not completely stop the spread. The cancer cells are spread by blood so they can affect liver, bones, brain, adrenal , gut etc. So at this moment your father needs palliative care in the form of multivitamins, central pain killers like tramadol, hematanics, cough supressants etc. So better to avoid further chemo and radiotherapy.
