Diagnosed With Advanced Lung Cancer In Both Lungs, Chest, Back And Spine, Started Morphine For Pain. Life Expectancy ?
I have a family member just diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in both lungs, chest, back and spine. She was told last week 6 months, she declined any treatment. She was updated this week to 2 months and now Friday the hospice nurse evaluated her and said she would not live even 2 months, due to her breathing. They have already started morphine for pain. What time frame now can we expect?

Hello,
So , sorry a family member have cancer.
It is very hard to tell about prognosis of disease of a patient.
It depends upon many conditions as general condition,
Spread of carcinoma,
type of carcinoma,
age of patient ,
blood reports .
So sorry good luck for patient.
