Hi and thank you so much for this query.

From the information you have provided, I can for sure say that your father is not in the best of health. However, how much time he has left would depend on the extend of his disease. For example, if the cancer of the bladder has metastasized to other organs it would mean something different if it were not. The person who has all this information and can provide an accurate assessment and information is this is his treating doctor. Please ask the clearly about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
