My father in law had just been diagnosed- lung , kidney and its in his glands . He's been in hospital now for over a month with pneumonia and he has dementia with delirium.  We have been advised he has 3 months to live. I just don't know how best to support my husband through this terrible time. Disappointed 

  • Hello ,

    I'm very sorry to hear of your Father-in-Law's ilness.
