What Is The Life Expectancy Of Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer Patient?

My father has stage 4 esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed in october (this year). It has spread to his lungs stomach and liver. He is not eligible for any treatment. Over the last few weeks he has become withdrawn and sleepy, he does not want to see his family. He is very emotional and what little strength he has left, he is irritable and agitated. The Consultant told us dad had 6-12 months to live. i don t believe that. He looses weight every day, he looks grey and weak. I want to know really. How long will he live?
