i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. of course it's tough for your father too. unfortunately there's no good answer to your question. none of us knows when any individual will pass on whether they have cancer or not. some cancers are very aggressive and others move more slowly. also every individual's body is different in the way it fights off a disease like cancer. a person with a very robust immune system may live longer with the same type of cancer as another person whose immune system is weak. what i can tell you for certain is this: make the most of every remaining moment with your dad. that way whether he lives for three days or three years you won't let go with any regrets. sending you big hugs.
if someone has been diagnoised with brain and throat cancer and refuses treatment how long does he have to live? . he has smoked mostly all his life and he drank a lot prior to 1993. i am his daughter but the doctor wont tell me anything and he don't want me to know.
