Hi and thank you for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis and the difficulty operating on this cancer. I can only imagine how difficult it is to imagine your mother in such a terrible stage with very little options left to help her. Please, take heart. show how much love and be the pillar for her as she live these days that non would ever wish to experience.

Cancers are of different prognosis depending on the site and organ. Unfortunately, you have not provided the location or organ and this make sit very unlikely to tell you what the survival rate is. What is certain is that if there is no intervention, her days would not be as many any more.

I will also like to suggest that you seek a second opinion fro an oncologist. When cancers are this huge, chemotherapy and or radiotherapy can shrink the and make them operable. Ask your doctor to look into this option.

I am so sorry about this. may you find the strength to be up to the task and challenges at hand. I wish her the very best of possible outcomes as she takes on this battle.
