81m w/stage4lungcancer + subdural hematoma 4/16 now has pneumonia in both lungs+ a bloodclot in one lung and c-diff chance of getting better?

It is much harder: When you are in your 80s and have the list of medical problems that you have the chance of getting better is much harder than if you were younger. It is not impossible but we lose our reserve to recover from pneumonia, blood clot, infections like C-diff, and subdural hematoma at such an advanced age.
