Suggest Treatment For Cancer In Liver And Lungs

My father’s just got diagnosed with cancer in his liver and lungs, and one of his lungs has completely failed. He's on no medication or treatments, and only got diagnosed of it last week.He was scheduled for a bronchoscope today, but going to the hospital they have re-scheduled it to next week.I’m just wondering if there are any treatments, medication, or even hope?(I've also heard things about chemotherapy, laser surgery, Burzyski Clinics, Glutathione drugs and other things - researched these on the net)

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your father's situation and problem.
He is having stage 4 cancer. This is terminal stage cancer and it is not curable.
But we can definitely reduce his sufferings through palliative treatment.
Palliative treatment for end stage cancer includes
1. Chemotherapy
2. Radiotherapy
3. Nutritional supplements
4. Pain management.
5. Psychiatric counselling for end of life issues.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss about these options to reduce his sufferings.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
