Stage IV brain cancer is a terminal illness, if he was diagnosed with it, I think that the doctors in the hospital would already be taking care of it. The process is usually surgically remove tumors, then start a course of chemotherapy paired with radiation therapy. Also, a popular case of really bad cancer is Lance Armstrong. He had stage iv testicular cancer. the doctors actually removed one testicle and tissue from his brain. so yeah, doctors DO remove tumors, especially if they are disrupting the flow of blood and there is necrotic tissue.

There is no such thing as stage 4 brain cancer, as brain cancer is not staged it is graded. If he also has it in his lungs, stomach and kidneys I suspect it is not brain cancer at all. However widely metastatic cancer is that is a lung, stomach or kidney primary is not curable. No doctor is going to remove widely metastatic tumors. Not knowing what kind of cancer he has there is no way to answer your. You need to speak to his oncologist who has all the information to answer your questions.

Your best course of action is to get in touch with the Hospice program. This is paid 100% by Medicare and will help keep your dad as comfortable possible through this disease. They also have many supportive services for you and your family in dealing with this illness. Hospice is the best thing for him right now. Best wishes.
