A member asked:

My sister has fluid on her lungs, she has cancer in her abdomen wall and has spread to her nodules. how long to live?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Life span: There is no one but God that knows the number of days we each have but you are describing someone with a terminal disease process. I would advise your sister to get her affairs in order. There is no way to know exact how long she will live. Best of luck to you and your sister.
