Hi, dear He has stage 4 cancer.  It is metastatic esophageal and gastric cancer.  So surgery is not possible.  He can not tolerate chemotherapy.  So no treatment should be given.  Moreover, he is on total parental nutrition.  Overall prognosis is very poor.  Life expectancy is very less.  Generally it is not more than 6 months.  It depends on many other factors also.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
