My sympathy. It is hard to see someone you love getting progressively sicker. Radiation is tough! And strokes are terrifying to everyone.
None of us can answer your question. In fact, even a doctor who has just examined him may not be able to give you any answer that has any real meaning. Stroke is unpredictable. But he may have longer than he thinks. Radiation is terribly hard and makes the person seem very fragile, but if he can recover from the radiation, he may gain strength and have several enjoyable years left. Right now he feels awful because of the treatments and may be depressed--that is perfectly natural.
Be there for him. Help him in any way you can, including with any physical therapy he may need to do. Also with meals and housework if he needs that kind of help. But the main thing is to let him know you love him and want to be with him. Don't let "important" things like hanging out with your friends and shooting baskets keep you from visiting him often. Not that you shouldn't live your own life, but make a conscious effort to make some space in your life to spend quality time with your grandfather, too. If he recovers, you will know that you played a part in his recovery. If he doesn't make it, you will know that you added to the quality of his life in his final days.
Good luck to you and to him. You sound like you really care a lot about him; make sure he knows that.

I consider you will have to definately ship it. I'm definite he has spent plenty of time through the years thinking about approximately you all. You do not say what occurred among him and your father however seeing as you do not need a courting anymore along with your father a minimum of you will not be offending him. You will have to additionally ask your self what precisely you wish out of the Grandfather? Do you assume him to be extremely joyful and begin up a courting with you all? Can you manage it if he does not wish to grasp? Anyway because the historic announcing is going 'you do not know 'til you take a look at'. So pleasant of good fortune whichever course making a decision to take.

only God knows this....we have no idea when we are going to meet our maker. You on the other hand knows that your time is limited , so....I suggest you say and do everything you always wanted to do with your grandpa because you never get a second chance. Take advantage of the time and start NOW so there are NO regrets down the line. May God bless you and your grandfather. granny
