I can't answer your question, but just wanted to let you know that we're not Doctor's here and I'm not sure if anyone can give you the answer that you're looking for.

We have all assisted each other with making judgements based on what our Doctors have told us, and I can only suggest that you take your father's doctor aside and demand a prognosis to assist yourself and your family.  I hope he's being well looked after and wish you the best for the future.
