Bladder cancer

Hi my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer last yr and so far treatment is going well up until now where the cancer has now spread to his prostate. I'm a only child and I don't know what to do or how to help him?

Hi @Msainsley76

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad.

How is he going?

Everyone is a little different in what they want or need, so it will come down to the person and the set of circumstances.

Have you tried asking him if there something you do to help?

Would he like someone to attend his treatment with him?

All the best,
