I would try to get other senses satisfied: familiar smells, textures (favourite shoe to chew on), and sounds. I would think of it like how you would comfort a puppy.
When my kitty Bullwinkle (yes, his brother was Rocky) started to quickly decline from diabetes related illnesses, he became very disoriented and would lash out at his own brother - which frightened them both. I separated them and let Rocky come and sniff Bully in little bits. Kind of like when you introduce a pet to your home where you already have one.
As for his care and treatment and quality of life, follow your heart. Follow your vet's advice, but you know your pet best.
