I think he needs further evaluation with a surgeon and a radiation oncologist to plan exact treatment

Consult your medical oncologist. He may be able to either reduce the dose of did, if he is not tolerating, or suggest medicines for symptomatic relief. Give him good nutritious food. Can take Tangail for pain relief
