Suggest Treatment For Stomach Cancer

My father has stomach cancer. It expended to other organs inside (jejunum, some lymph nodes). Doctor wanted to try a surgery, connect some kind of hose from esophagus to small intestine. Today he gave a try, but when he opened him, everything was bad. His espophagus and small intestine are so soft, he decided not to try. Cancer spread on whole digestic system of the upper torso. Is there any help? Thank you, sorry for my bad english.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

I am sorry that your father is ill.

Unfortunately, with such wide spread disease, the outlook is not as you would like.
Widespread cancer normally carries a poor prognosis and usually means that the survival rate is low.

The exact time frame cannot be given but it is normally less than a year, in many cases only a few months.

I am sorry for this difficult time that your father, you and the rest of family and wish you the best.
