Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your father's situation and problem.
Invasive carcinoma of Penis is having worst prognosis.
The doctor had done correct things by giving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, resection of Penis and tumour growth.
After these, only palliative treatment is left.
Palliative treatment includes pain management, nutritional support and discussion on end of life issues.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your father.
Thanks.
