I can safely say that you will not find anyone posting in this forum that would not advise your father to try whatever is made available to him to try to prove that it is NOT too late. There are many Stage 3 and Stage 4 survivors here.

I would suggest that he seek treatment at a CCC (comprehensive cancer center).

I like emmylou's point!!! If your dad doesn't think his life is worth spending money on to save, it is time for you to step in and convince him he is worth it.
