Hi.welcome to healthcare magic.i have analysed your query.
Stage 4 cancers are very difficult to cure completely.often it requires palliative therapy.as your father has advanced age,he may not be able to tolerate palliative procedures like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.so your doctor might have prescribed analgesics only to him.
thank you.
