What Are The Chances Of Survival After Treated Bladder Cancer?

hi< my father in law has bladder cancer for the second time. The first time he had it removed but never followed through with treatment. Now its back and has been for at least a year maybe more. Its to the point where he screams when he urinates and can hardly get out of bed in the morning. He refuses treatment and drinks, smokes heavily. What am i up against as far as life span for him and suffering?

Hello dear. From your description it seems an advanced stage of disease. As he is refusing further treatment, his survival will be low somewhat around 4 to 6 months or so. However you can provide him best supportive care, Thanks
