Dad Just had diagnosis of inoperable bladder cancer. Reeling a bit . Radiotherapy being recommended as short term . Just trying to process it all
Hello and welcome to the community. Sorry to hear your Dad's cancer is inoperable. It must be difficult for the family to hear this. Hopefully the radiotherapy will help. Best wishes.
Hello Delyth,
How is your dad? I hope he is doing well. I also hope your dad is one of those cases where chemo will manage to keep the cancer at bay and allow him to live comfortably and for long ... I know that this is possible and I have read cases of people living many years and doing chemo every so often. It may depend on how aggressive is the cancer ... In all cases, my thoughts are with you and your family.
