Hi
Thanks for posting.
I understand your concern.
I am sorry to know about your mom. This is an incurable condition but with chemo the average survival time is 1 year. it can be much more or even less depending on the response and tolerance. But still we can palliate her symptoms and give her some quality life.
Hope this helps.
Please get back if you need any more clarifications
Regards
