Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
As you mentioned your father has advanced throat cancer. Since he is 84 years old, no extraordinary management is required. What is more important is that the remaining period of his life should be made as comfortable as possible. Keep the invasive procedures to the bare minimum taking adequate measures to feed him properly.
No chemotherapy or radiotherapy need to be given, which will worsen his general condition.
Wishing your father all the best.
