My 84 year old fathe has just been diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma which has spread into his lung his stomach back and neck he went to the dr in January as he wasn’t eating and felt very tired all the time He has been told that palliative therapy is the only thing now and we have accepted that but we have been told he may become a quadriplegic or paraplegic if the cancer spreads to his spine. He is blind and now hard of hearing and has no quality of life . My question is what sort of time has he left and is what can he expect in his final days
