What Is The Possible Life Expectancy Of A Person With Cancer Spread Throughout The Body With Seizures?

My sister in law has been living with later stage Pancreatic Cancer for 2 years receiving Chemo. About 2 months ago the doctors informed her that the chemo was no longer retarding the growth of the cancer and she opted to stop chemo. She was told that the cancer had spread throughout her body. About 3 weeks ago hospice started coming to care for her. It is now in her brain. She had a seizure today and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. How long are we looking at. We live in Florida, they live in NJ and we would like to know approximately when to plan our trip to NJ. Thank you.
