Since it has been just two months since chemoradiation therapy and the PET shows the original cancer has spread and a new cancer is discovered, this is a very aggressive cancer.
The doctors there are far better at assessing what the options are and if surgery has been ruled out and radiation too, then only chemo seems like an option.
I know you are totally involved and push for all that can be done to help your father. Hopefully they can at least control the spread and shrink it back some. If that shows good results there may be other options.
