Brief Answer:
The life left is less

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I am sorry that you have developed secondaries in lung , liver and bones. This means your cancer has spread extensively. There is no means to identify life expectancy to the exact time, but the average life span seen in this stage of cancer is about 3-4 months. A month more or less may be seen. It also depends on how much of the liver, lung and bone are involved and also position.

I suggest you sort out and keep all the things ready and try to enjoy your rest of life. I am sorry once again .

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
