How To Treat For Terminal Bladder Cancer?
my dad has terminal bladder cancer which has spread to his lungs. He was told in feb that it could be 2 weeks or no more than 9 months so posibly 6 month. He is urinating blood intermittently but there it's no infection. He sleeps for 18 hours if left alone. Not eating as much but I think thats worry n anxiety. How close do u think it is?

Nobody can predict death. Stage 4 patients can live from a few days to years also. Apart from stage, clinical condition of patient is more important. Fit patients with stage 4 live longer than symptomatic patients. Blood in urine is just not the predictor but it is the performance status that matters most
