Hello Saeid,

A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry to hear why you've joined us. You might find it helpful to write down a list of questions for your care team and to ask for an appointment to discuss your concerns. It is often worth involving a loved one or close friend in drawing up this list, as they will often come up with questions that you may not have thought about.

Under the circumstances, I feel sure that you could bring a loved one with you for support, despite the current restrictions due to the current pandemic. I suspect that they may not give you a prognosis, unless you want it and actually ask for a survival time. Even then, this is at best a 'guesstimate', as even consultants are often way off with their predictions in this respect. There are a number of people on this site who have outlived these predictions, by quite some time.

I sincerely hope that you manage to get answers to these questions.Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
