Prognosis: The best folks to ask about what time your dad has left are the docs who care for him. Sometimes the prognosis is far outlived. See "Radical Remission" book by Kelly Turner. Focus on quality of life. Peace and good health.

No telling: If this is metastatic prostate cancer to the spine, this is common and there is no way to predict his response to treatment or the duration or quality of his survival. I am glad he has you
