Life expectancy of an 82 year old man with epitheloid angiosarcoma in the spine. is now having severe back pain and can't walk?

Discuss w/ the Dr: Clear from what you say, he is not well and probablt his quality of life is diminished. The duration of life may be unknown, but the best estimates would come from the doctors who treat him. I'm sorry that this is a difficult time for him - I hope it can be as good as possible.
