Hi all I have just had the good news that I am cancer free after 2 years of treatment but my dad has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and there is nothing they can do only try and prolong it with medication he is 83 and just wondering if he is entitled to get any money to help him out

    It's great to hear that you've recently been given such good news but I'm so sorry to hear that your Dad has been given an incurable prostate cancer diagnosis. 

    I'd suggest getting in touch with the Macmillan benefits and financial support team. They will be able to give you, or your Dad, advice about what financial help may be available to him and possibly help with completing some of the paperwork as well. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Sending you both my best wishes,
