Hi there just wondering if anyone has had any experience of the above. The story so far.....my dad (61) has recently been give a prognosis of between 6months and two years. The consultant gave this news after looking at scans, he says there is no cure and that medication would be to try and slow it down, bascically the damage has been done (around his ribs lower back). The consultant then went on to say he would organise a biopsy, this is where I am confused....why tell us there is basically nothing that can be done and give us a prognosis before the biopsy and results are known? Any advise, help or inspirational stories of prognosis being wrong would be great. Thanks
