How long does she have

Caitlin

My gran is 70 years old, she was sent to the hospital where they found a tumor in her throat. After some tests we discovered she had cancer in her oesophagus which now has spread to her liver and her lungs. She has ovarian cancer 17 years ago and beat it but this time it's terminal. She doesn't want to know how long she has but I do, Can someone please give me an estimate of how long she has?

    Hi Caitlin X Very sorry to hear about your Gran X My Dad has also been recently diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus X No one not even the Medical Professionals can give you an exact time on how long your dear Gran may have left as so many factors can affect this. My Dad & we were told      to think in months rather than years but each persons situation is unique. All I can say is just spend as much quality time as you can with your Gran while she is still with you & work on building those memories of good times. I know it is hard X Always here if you need to talk xx
