My dad is 76 years old with a history of stroke and hypertension. He has led a content life and happy life.

I am not sure if he can take the effects of chemo and radio therapy and he has already refused a surgery. I am not sure if I need to encourage him to give chemo therapies a go or let him decide against treatment. My mom is also poorly and being a single child I feel very helpless at the moment. I want my dad to decease peacefully with a better quality of life than prolonging his life with aggressive treatments and subsequent suffering. Can someone please guide me ?
