My friend's father (82) has been diagnosed with bladder cancer.
It has been treated by having a 'scrape' but he has been told it can't be cured and they will not operate to remove the bladder because of his weak heart.
He has been offered palliative radiotherapy (a single dose) after a month or more of repeated visits to hospital as a result of blocked urethra and passing blood/clots.
My friend is meeting with the urologist this week, and wants to know what all this means for her father's prognosis, but is unsure of the questions to ask.
Can anyone advise/help her?
Many thanks.
