  • Hello Arlene78.  Welcome to the forum.  I am sorry your father is not doing so well.  I have helped care for people I have known with cancer and I understand that these lumps can sometimes be very painful. I imagine your father is getting pain control.  Sad to say this but although it is impossible to know how your father will progress it does sound as though he is going downhill now.  It does vary between people with these symptoms; some I knew have passed away quite quickly but as you say there is no definite timescale.  I would just say stick with making your father comfortable, care for him as you think appropriate and let him know that you are there for him and love him.  I think you will notice changes as they happen.  So sorry you are going through this.   Annie
