Hospice care is not called in until someone is in their final days (usually with only a week or so to live)... No one can predict when someone will die...however, I would say this person is in their final days...and you should spend every moment you can with her...when she looses her hearing and eyesight and begins to be in a coma-like state and then begins the "death-rattle" sounds (that lungs make in the final hours) she will most likely be only 12 hours or so from the "end" of her earthly body... My heart goes out to you...and whomever is suffering with this...

less than a month

Very hard question to answer to be honest. A lot of it will depend on the medication (morphine) that the medical team are administrating. High doses sometimes are used to reduce pain and create a medical coma to help the patient pass away peacefully. I hope this helps. I know what you must be going through. The fact that they are having a blood transfer is a good sign.

In 2005 my mother-in-law had stage 4 lung cancer. From the time she was diagnosed in the beginning of April we had to call hospice the first week in May. She passed 2 days after being home with hospice. It went through all of her body as well. Cancer is an ugly thing and to watch someone you care about go through this it is not pleasant. I really do not expect it to be to long if it is all through her body. If she is in hospice and fades like my mother-in-law it will be about 2 days if that. I wish you all the best and when she passes at least she will not have the cancer anymore and will not be in anymore pain. God Bless You!!!
