Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your chest father is smoker, possibility of malignant lung mass is more likely.
His heart function is also very very less (10%).
So life expectancy instead his case is less than 1-2 months.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
