Stage 4 stomach cancer months to live

My dad has recently in the last few weeks been diagnosed with T4 stomach cancer. We were told initially 18 months, today I was told months. Its not spread but it is aggressive. I don't know what months means. 

I know there isn't a definite answer..I live 300 miles from him.and I'm heartbroken..I don't know how to manage this. I want to be with him, but I have a family and commitments. Can anyone offer me some advice as my head is spinning.

  • Welcome to our forum, bolly1, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    We have other members here on Cancer Chat who have been through a similar experience with their loved ones and I hope you'll soon hear from them as chatting with those who can relate does seem to help.

    Having said that, I wanted to mention that is also important that you take care of yourself. With this in mind, there is a page from our website I wanted to share with you which talks about how cancer can affect those whose loved ones are going through cancer, to read more please click here.

    With best wishes to you and your dad,
