What Is The Prognosis Of Prostate Cancer With Metastasis?

My Father in Law has prostate cancer that has spread. he fell broke his hip and fractured his 2nd vertabrae in his neck. He is at home now under Hospice care however he continually urinates blood/clots. He is on pain meds but overall is eating and so on. He is completly bed ridden. The Doctors upon his release from the hospital prepared us for death. Under these circumstances how long does he have??

Hi did review your concern. I am sorry to hear about this condition about your father. but it is very difficult to prognosticate in this scenario. It could be days or weeks or rarely months. best for the patient is to get pain relief medications and stay with his loved ones so when he passes away its without pain and suffering.
i hope this helps.
wish you a very healthy life ahead
