Hello,
It is hard to guess at because we do not have all the information. If she is otherwise healthy and does not have another stroke, she could easily live another five to ten years or more. If she has another stroke, heart attack or other problem it could be a much shorter time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
