Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has stage 4 throat cancer. It is very late stage disease. Complete cure is not possible. Only chemotherapy and radiotherapy is useful at this stage. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good.
Sorry to say but it is fact.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
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.
