A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life Expectancy: Let me first express my sorrow at the diagnosis that your Mother has received. It is so stressful to see your mother ill and to face the possibility of her death. There are so many factors that have to be considered when you try to come up with a prognosis. These include her general health otherwise, her strength, her mental health, her nutritional state, etc. Her physicians would know best.
