Hello CJBaggies
I'm sorry to hear about your Grandad's diagnosis earlier this week. It's naturally a difficult time for you all and understandable that you may have questions.
It's difficult for anyone to say how quickly your Grandad's cancer will progress. It's good to know that the palliative care team will be supporting him and the family. They will be best placed to try and give you some insight into how things may progress in the coming weeks.
If you want to talk with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
