I think you misinterpreted.
His cancer is stage 4 which is effectively terminal.
Treatments are good and he can go for years if they work - but he’ll never be clear of cancer.
That’s what he meant by prolonging his life.
Chemo isn’t “palliative” care which he’s still on.
Stage 4 lung cancer survivability charts are easily found, with many variables that no one outside his family and doctors are privy to. But everyone knows how this will end.

I agree with your post. My good friends wife had a small lump on her breast removed 10 years ago. 3 years ago she blew out her back picking up her infant son. Went to the Dr and they found cancer everywhere. Spine, lungs, liver and brain. Turns out they didn’t get all the cancer from her breast. They gave her weeks to live. She ended up living 2 years by instituting a brutal Kieto type diet. She was starving the cancer. Her cancer was actually shrinking, much to the surprise of her doctors. They moved from the west coast to the east coast and she neglected her diet for 2 weeks while getting this huge move situated. Her cancer came back with a vengence and killed her within a couple of weeks. You may be able to keep stage 4 cancer at bay but it will take something extreme like the diet she was using.
MIRACLES HAPPEN...you just HAVE TO PRAY.
