Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.I am sorry about your sister
This is definitely terminal stage of malignant disease but it is hard to predict lifetime. In most cases it is just 2-5 weeks and rarely it can be more than 2-3 months. She is obviously somnolent and this is very poor prognostic sign.
I am sure you ll find enough strength to be with her and give all possible support.
Wish you good health. Regards
