My condolences to both of you Dave, having had & survived Cancer twice I can understand you pain. Be there and spend as much time as you can with each other. A smile, laugh, a hug or a shoulder to have a cry on for each other. Plus remember that you have friends here who are willing to listen and talk to anytime you need us

Dave,
So sorry to hear about the heartbreaking news. That is no way to treat an 89-year-old man, he deserves a lot more dignity than that. I find that the NHS approach to the elderly is "you have had a good life, we are not going to go out of our way and do a lot to keep you going for long as possible".
That said there are different types of leukemia and hopefully his is more treatable. Hope you're able take him to his appointments and ask questions and be something of a thorn in their side when you go. (Do it respectfully though).
My thoughts and prayers are with you both and happy to chat in private if you like on this.
Hugs to both of you.
