  • Hi Chez4

    I'm so sorry to hear that your father in law has been dealing with all these health issues recently. 

    The team responsible for his care are the best people to advise you further on this. It's important to remember that they can only offer an educated estimate based on past experience and statistics but they can give some idea. Generally Dr's are happy to speak to relatives provided they have the patients permission to do so. 

    I hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
