my step grandad has just been diagnosed with terminal oesophageal cancer. He is 92 and they are not offering him any treatment other than a stent to be put in so he can try and eat. He stopped being able to eat solid food and had a biopsy, within the 2 weeks it took to get the results he has struggled now to manage to eat the soup and liquidised food he has been having.
They have offered to put a stent in on Christams eve but he has declined as he doesn't want to be in hospital for Christmas. So they are going to do it after Christmas (not sure of the date).
What i wanted to know is if anyone has any idea of how long we can expect him to live for. My dad died of the same cancer nearly 10 years ago and he had a year from diagnosis but he had chemo which gave him extra time.
I am convinced that he won't have a lot of time but I just wanted to get a rough idea in my head if we are looking at weeks or months.
