Hello, my 79 ye old Dad has just been told his prostate cancer is terminal, he didn’t want to know how long he may have left but Mum and I do-how can we find out, recognising it’s never an exact science of course
Hi Pepa, and welcome to the forum, I too have prostate cancer, which is "treatable" but not curable and as you say a prognosis is difficult, since diagnosis 2.5 years ago mine has changed 4 times so now I take no notice of it, as a result life is much better, counting down your days to somebody's guesstimate is not a thing I wanted to be doing, and I guess your dad feels the same, as for getting a prognosis, if your dad is of sound mind, you will have to get his ok to ask his consultant, but please have a little think about it first, best wishes to all your family.
