Hi
Your grandfather is suffering from stage 4 lung cancer.
Average survival time is 3 to 6 months.
Ayurveda treatment is not scientifically proven.
I will advise to continue basic supportive care and arrange for a oxygen cylinder in home.

DR De

hello dear. I have gone through your question. In old age with simultaneous kidney failure and advanced lung cancer. it is very difficult actually to decide a treatment. still some forms of targeted drugs may work in his case. You can discuss these with your doctor. More over aim of the treatment is not to extend his life, rather t provide him comfort, pain free and and quality of life.
Hope you understand better now.
