Hi, i will avoid mentioning some details as I dont know if my uncle reads this forum.

My uncle has prostate cancer which now spread in his bones. He had chemo and other medicines for the last few years- but was told last month there are no more treatments. He has other health complications from various things and is only in his 50s. His doctors are sending a hospice coordinator to speak with him and will have pain relief only now. What does that mean if the hospice are visiting? He is in huge amounts of pain, but is eating well and still 'looks ok' and seems his old self. I know it is 'how long is a piece of string', but how long may he have now all treatments have stopped? Could he still have a couple of years of life left, or is that stupid? The doctor will do what they are calling palliative radiotherapy to attack lumps of cancer causing him pain, but thats it. I can't get my head around it, I wish I knew what was coming next or how quickly he may deteriorate so I can help put plans in to place. I can't believe how ill he is as he still looks so well... i can't believe it. 

I dont know whether to move in to look after him or if that is a stupid idea. My aunt died a few years ago and my cousins live abroad. I'm worreid about him being by himself and I want to make sure he is okay. If there is hope he will live for a few more years then I dont want to move in with him now and panic him. But equally I want to make sure he is okay. I'm so scared of him being in more pain at the end. 

It would help to see what people have done if you've been through the same thing. Thank you
