My Dad has been suffering terrible pain for weeks, heartbreaking to watch. He previously had 2 operations for enlarged prostate which were unsuccesful as he needed a permanent catheter. to cut a long story short after 3 long weeks in hospital we have now been told he only has 2 months to live. The cancer is secondry in the liver and they say they can't be sure of the primary source. They say it is too far advanced for treatment but I just can't accept that. Is it often worth getting a second opinion not really to dispute the diagnosis but to see if anything can be done to help him and hopefully extend his life providing his quality of life is going to be reasonable?
Also can anyone help me with trying to cope with a very emotional Dad who is worrying himself about leaving us? What do I say to him to try and make things better or do I encourage him to let his emotions out. I'm struggling to to watch my dad, who I love dearly, cry his eys out.
Thanks for reading my message and I look forward to any replys, they will be gratefully received.
