question: My father of 78-year of age has a Stage IV esophagous cancer for over 20 months. He has completed 35 Chemos and 15 rounds of radiation. He suffered fever on the last day of his radiation 10 days ago and the medical team has determined that the infection that caused his fever was due to pneumonia resulting from Tracheoesophagel Fistula. The pulmonary specialist, and the surgeon do not recommend surgery due to cancer and both doctors think my father has short time left to live (about 1 to 2 months). However, the oncologist thinks that there is a possibility that with time, though very slowly, tracheoesophagel fistula may heal itself with the ongoing antibiotics treatment given the pnumonia my father is suffering is not sever. What are your thoughts on differences of opinions among the doctors and what is the best care for my father going forward (LTAC or Home Health Care)? Thank you in advance for your help.
