Hi its me agian.. I've put off wrighting on here.. but I need to know a answer which I think I already know... my dad has got terminal prostate cancer.. unfortunately it was to late bye the time they caught it... so no op no radio or chemo... his care plan is in place and we have being giving a time limit or life span of how long he's got left... so the question is he is yellow in the face and drawn in and he's tired quite alot now... he can't do much like he used to.. is this the start of the dying process?... sorry if this upsets people who r also going threw it thereselfs... xxx

  •  Hi ,

    Sorry to hear about your latest concern with your dad and also sorry I cannot really answer your question. Having cancer does not stop all sorts of other things going on and it may well be worth talking to either his GP or the oncology team to see if this is expected or if there is something else that might help your dad be more comfortable and have the best quality of life possible.

    Thankyou for your help... we were told bye the hospital if his pain gets to bad to phone macmillian nurses or hospital and they will come out and put a morphine drive in the thing is... I think my dad is hiding how long he's really got left... as it's in his bones and pelvis ribs etc hugs back xx
