Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted your mother seems to have been diagnosed to have High Grade Papillary Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder .
Since it has infiltrated into Lamina Propria and if left untreated further infiltration in to perivascular tissue and lympho Vascular spread is likely to be very fast ,
Though it is very difficult to predict period of survival precisely you can expect her to survive for one year .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
