I am truly sorry to hear about the affliction of your family member. I understand how all of you must be feeling right now.
The prognosis given by the physician is only based on average duration of cases with this cancer. However, there is no certainty on how long it would really be. Prognosis would really depend on how severe the condition is. It would be best if you just be ready for whenever it happens and to try to make your family member's life as comfortable and memorable as possible.
