Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
I am sorry about your friend. This is terminal malignant disease and prognosis is really poor especailly if chemo cant be performed. Now, you can only do paliative treatment:relief his pain and prevent infections and wieght losing. Everything else isnt in your hands and you just need to suppirt him for these few months of his life
WIsh you good health. Dr.Ivan Romic
