As a stage 4 I'll assume he's not had an esophagectomy... so he has no incisions or laparoscopic holes causing any pain.
How many CT scans with contrast has he had... or PET scans?
Where are his mets seen... bones? Liver? Only lymph nodes?
What progress has been seen with his treatments, and what chemo, or chemoradiation treatments has he done to date?
Any immunotherapy?

He had 15 rounds of radiation last January and 4 rounds of chemotherapy. He decided he was done so last treatment was in April. Had one PET scan at the beginning of diagnosis. His cat scan in December with contrast showed he was stable and no change since his June scans. Mets were only in lymph nodes near the mass.
