Dad's Lung cancer

Hi

New here and wanted some advice. My dad's already got prostate cancer and now told today his recent ct scan shows lung cancer. He's also got endoscopy and biopsies scheduled for Monday for his stomach. We're in turmoil. He's been told they won't do any treatment as he's got chronic emphasemia so would not tolerate any radiotherapy or chemo. If these biopsies on Monday are positive that's 3 different cancers he'll have. With no treatment what does this mean for him ?? Will he just be left to die. How long will he have! All these questions and nobody to answer them

  • I'm so sorry the CT scan showed another cancer Craig and that treatment isn't an option. 

    Unfortunately I can't answer the questions you're desperately seeking answers to but hopefully you can find out more when the results from your dad's upcoming endoscopy and biopsies come back.

    If you like to talk things through with someone then you're more than welcome to give our cancer nurses a call. They're available Monday - Friday (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day) between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Wishing you and your dad all the best for Monday Craig.

    Kind regards,
