Confused by lack of treatment for my Dad

My Dad who is 82 and in good health all his life recently went through a series of testing in the UK where he lives because he was passing blood in his urine. Yesterday after investigative surgery the doctors said he had 2 tumors - one on his kidney and one on his lungs. They apparently initially mentioned chemotherapy but are now (apparently) saying they won't bother because they don't think it will help. Part of my problem is lack of information because I'm so far away and I'm getting 3rd hand information, but I'm just floored by the idea that they're not going to try ANYTHING to treat this - can anyone help me out by explaining why this is a reasonable situation or where I could get some information or advice to help me understand.
Thanks.
Luci.
