He is increasingly bleeding more from this condition. How long might he have to live...ballpark guess with you kowledge and experience?

Hi
Since he has got prostate cancer and now is having bleeding average survival time will vary from 6 to 9 months.
I would advise tab pause for him which he can take with doctors advise to control the bleeding.
