A member asked:
What do you suggest if my dad has advanced heart disease. how long do you think he could have left to live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support him: That depends on the actual heart disease. This must be a difficult time for your father and for your family and it's important to remember that life is well worth the living. Your dad needs to understand the extent and limitations of his disease and follow treatment instructions. However, to the degree that he can, he should enjoy life and you and your family can help him to do that !!
