question: I hadnt spoke to my father for 18 years and about a month ago I found out he has full lung cancer.  He is in a hospital on morphine patches. For the last two weeks I have rand him every day.  Some days he sounds great.  For the last two days he has been incoherent.  He is in a hospital 12 hours from where I live.  How much time do I have, realistically if I wanted to see him before he dies.
