It is rare to have it in more that one place at a time but it can happen. I had 2 completely separate spots going on at the same time during my first diagnosis in 2007. Does your father already have a treatment plan all set? Is he being treated at a cancer center? That would be where a whole team will get together and work as a team to treat him.
