What Is The Treatment For Cancer Of The Stomach In A Hypertensive Patient?

My father is 76 yrs old; has had 2 heart attacks when he was 62 yrs. He has hypertension and is diabetic also. Few weeks back he has been detected with cancer of the stomach which has gone upto the liver where there are multiple spots. This has been confimed in the biopsy also. My father is fine now and he is able to walk around except that his body weight has reduced from 56 kgs to 44 kgs. What is the treatment that can be suggested now ?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has stomach cancer with metastasis in liver. It is already stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not helpful. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good.
Consult your doctor and plan 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.
