Hi,

I posted earlier but it hasn't appeared. 2 weeks after stopping abbi and my dad's pain is increasing. It was anyway but is getting unbearable and he is losing mobility. He has been sleeping in his orthopaedic chair as he can't get out of bed. He is getting radiotherapy on his spine to help with the pain on Thursday and my question is how much will this help with pain and also will it increase life expectancy?

Thanks

Bee

Hi Bee, the RT to his spine will not increase life expectancy but should knock the pain back quite a bit. Fingers crossed x
