my father in law has been diagnosed with mesothelioma and been in hospital since the diagnosis. the information we've been given is second hand from his wife but includes he's been told there are no treatment options. I know mesothelioma is difficult to treat and often only found when it's advanced etc, my question is have people found having a timescale useful in dealing with such diagnoses. His wife won't let him ask how long he may have as she says they are going to live each day as it comes and doesn't want him waiting for a date, which I can understand but my partner and his brother are a bit clueless about what happens next, my partner is assuming he has plenty of time, I worry if the timescale is less he will regret not seeing his dad or saying certain things when his dad is gone. We're not local to him which adds to the issue and I actually think my father in law himself wants to know. any advice welcome thanks
