Hi My dad is 82 and has stage 4 prostate cancer. he was diagnosed a couple of years ago and when he was told the diagnosis they said he had around 2 years to live. Whether it’s the prospect of being at that 2 year stage or the fact that he seems to have given up lately his mental health is so low and he is so depressed. My poor mum who is also in her 80’s is so stressed out and I feel like I’m at the end of my tether. What can you say or what can you do because nothing you say or do will make the situation any better as the inevitable is going to happen. It’s the not knowing when that’s so hard. Has anyone else had elderly parents with advanced cancer that is or has struggled with mental health and coping with the situation as a whole? Thanks
