My grandpa has stage iv cancer. he had surgery five months ago and stopped chemo last month. is there any treatments for him? would dca be effective?

? What is DCA?: I would love to help you but if you use abreviations(like dca!), i would not understand your question. So tell me the whole story and i will answer your q. As for other treatments, stage-4 cancers are frequently incurable, so they tend to relapse and more treatment if often required. So be watchful and have a close follow up and ask the questions to your oncologist who can probably guide you as we.
