Survival time, remission possibility, etc are so subjective. The won't tell you her survival rate because they don't really know. Will knowing change any of what treatment you do or how you support your dear mom? I agree someone should perhaps give you an "estimate", but know that's just an average...I'm so sorry you're going through this. I went through a similar situation with my mom.

Tell them the stress you are under. You need only continue to love your mam the way you always have done. Dont change who you are or who she is. Let her cope too. I dont understand some of what you are saying. All I can say is that you take one day at a time and be as strong as you can be. Laugh until it really IS funny.
