Stomach cancer with metastasis to lungs resulting in collapsed lungs and advanced disease to the extent that the patient is bleeding inside passing black stools, has very poor prognosis. Survival is limited. Exact time frame is difficult to give. The treating doctors would give you a better opinion as other parameters like lab results, oxygen dependency, infections etc also need to be taken into account.
