What Is The Life Expectancy Of Elderly With Lung Tumor?
my mother in law is 82, a smoker and drinker, has had her bladder scraped(?) twice for cancer and has a lung tumor and stents in her legs due to poor circulation. She recently fractured her pelvis, and upon discharge from a subacute rehab, we are trying to decide between ALF and SNF. What kind of life expectancy does she have?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Looking at her condition she doesn't have more than 4-6 months of survival but again she may have even less time which I can tell if I can know about her Oxygen saturation , Heart rate , Urine Output , a test called Arterial Blood gas analysis.
But overall it's 4-6 months .
. Hope you find this information useful.
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
