Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has metastatic cancer in his spine. It is stage 4 cancer. Complete cure is not possible. Chemotherapy gives palliative care. Prognosis is very poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. In my opinion no treatment should be given. You should give some quality days in rest of his life.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
