How Long Can She Live As She Has Cancer All Over?
My grandma is 77 yrs. old she has cancer all over. She weighs 76lbs. she has no appetite. The radiologist said her liver looks like swiss cheese. She is just skin and bones. Her short term memory is gone. Approx. how long can she live before her body gives out?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You have not mentioned the primary site for cancer.
But as you said that cancer has spread to all organs, she is having stage 4 cancer.
It is terminal stage cancer.
Memory loss suggest brain involvement. This carries even more worse prognosis.
In my opinion, her life expectancy is less than 6 months.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your grand mother.
Thanks.
