My Dad has cancer...please help!!!

My father who is 65 years old had been diagnosed innitially with esophageal cancer and they found a little tumor in the brain also. Both have been treated with radiation and chemo.  The chemo shrank the esophageal tumor minimally and the brain was radiated with no results.  In fact, the tumor has grown in the brain.  He recently had an MRI of the spine and they found cancer in the lower spine.  Also, there is mass into the iliopsoas muscles bilaterally and extends down towards the pelvis.  Is there anyone who has the same situation or have any information on successful treatments for his cancer's.  We have researched and found a treatment for the spine which is called Cavity Spinewand which uses radio frequency to kill cancer cells in the spine.  Has anyone received this treatment or know of it's results? Also has anyone tried essaic tea which I have also heard might help or is it toxic?  Would this be something worth trying?   Any information would help tremendously.  Or if you have any suggestions that you might think would help please respond asap.

Try the Zometa to strengthen the bone immediately as it already is spread to the spine....
