Impossible to say...: There are so many factors that affect "chances of survival". The physicians caring for your grandmother in the hospital know her full history and can best address your concerns and questions. Please know that all discussions of "survival rate" are based on previous experiences and statistics of other patients and are not definitive for what will be the end result for your family member.
