Suggest Remedy For Gall Stones And Heart Condition

My grandmother is 92 years old and has CHF and a enlarged heart with only 20% heart function. She has a heart stent and hypertension. She also is in a lot of pain from several gallstones. The doctors do not want to remove the gallstones because of her her heart function. I need to know how long can my grandmother live with 20% heart function
