Time span

Hi my dad has prostate cancer which has now spread to his spine and stomach and lymph nodes, he is 80 and not giving us  information what's going on with treatment, he goes for blood tests and his levels have gone up when we ask what does that mean he says he dosent know, but with him not telling us I am getting even more concerned he won't let us go to appointments with him, im really worried he's not got much time left and trying to protect us.

  • A warm welcome to Cancer Chat, Linday, although I'm sorry for the reason that brings you here.

    Sometimes it's tough to understand why our loved ones act the way they do, and I can appreciate why your dad not giving you much information about his condition is causing you to be concerned.

    And while it's not possible for us to tell you how much time he has left, we do have some information on our website about prostate cancer I want to share with you, to read more please click here. I hope this can be of some help.

    With best wishes to you and your dad,
