Hello dear. Your mom has advanced stage of cancer but still treatment is possible. if her condition is good , i mean she is active then chemotherapy can be planned. With chemotherapy she can live upto 2 years. So do not loose hope and ask your doctor about that,
without chemotherapy, her survival will be only 1 to 2 months.
Hope that solves your issues.
thanks
