Has the her physician given her a prognosis?  With those numbers, it will not be good.  
Nobody can tell you exactly how much time she has left, but only guess.

Hi,

My Father had Pancreatic cancer but was very ill when diagnosed, he survived for 3 months .  Nobody can predict how much time your Mum has because everybody is different and and it depends where her tumour was found in the Pancreas and how advanced the spread was?.
Has your Mum had any treatment? can she manage to eat? . I think you need to speak toher Doctor to get a clearer picture of her individual situation.
Sending prayers to you and your Mum.

Best wishes
Angie
