What Is The Prognosis In A Patient With Prostate Cancer And Dementia?

My dad is 83 years old, he has prostate cancer diagnosed in 2004, diagnosed with chronic leukemia last year and now has sticky stone in bladder removed as it was bleeding profusely with clots for the last three weeks. He has become very immobile since September of last year and I am wondering what his prognosis is. He has a good appetite but I feel his time is coming near an end. He is on hormone treatment now for his prostate and has dementia which has become much worse over the last month. He is getting out of hospital today after his stone in bladder being blasted.

Hi dear. He has prostate cancer and chronic leukemia. So prognosis is very poor. Age is also not favorable. So despite of horman therapy for prostate cancer prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. He came near the end of life.
