Thank y'all for your quick responses. Quality of life is a big issue here for us. I know if they say 6 months with no treatment, one year with, that he will forego treatment and make the most of what time he has left.

Dad just finished radiation this past August. He did very well - mild side effects of what I'd read about out here. I'm afraid that if they are able to radiate again that it will be brutal. He wanted no parts of the feeding tube before. I'm afraid this time it may not be an option. He's not going to like that.
