My dad has terminal prostate cancer and its spread to his bones - ribs and back area, he sleeps most of the time, eats very little (a yoghurt and 2 bites of a sandwich per day, drinks a lot of tea mind!) ! He has a catheter as well. He recently was admitted to hospital because of blood loss via catheter, he was given 3 x transfusions and was released home 2 days later. In the last six months he has lost an incredible amount of weight and he battles to speak, it comes out like a squeaky forced shout? And a year ago had 2 strokes, he’s on blood thinners (but this makes his bladder bleed) and then ends up in hospital for blood transfusions, if he stops the thinners he’s at very high risk of stroke. He also has COPD. My question is how long do you think he has left to live? And what should I expect going forward? I can’t ask the doctors as mom is always with me and dad and mom never talk about “those things “ how can I tell my mom to prepare for his death?? I also believe my mom has the beginning of altzimers (been through that journey with my partners mom) please can you help me. Dawn
