Can't tell here: Sorry to hear about your mom. That extent of disease typically has a poor prognosis, but you can and should get a better sense of things from the docs who have examined your mother.

Not much: Few weeks, couple of months at the most. Get her in hospice and finalize her stuff - will, papers, goodbyes to family and loved ones etc. Sorry and good luck!
