Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Though rare but not unheard of in medical literature, two different cancers as in your father and can affect the same patient at same or different times. The treatment for such disease essentially remains chemotherapy, radiation and surgery where possible.
You may consult the same doctor where he was treated for gluteal cancer and take necessary treatment. Staging of disease may require CT scan or MRI scan and treatment started soon.
Hope this helps
