Very sorry to hear this.
From experience in working in Palliative Care wards, (and having father who died from Lung Cancer), once it spreads to the brain, then the patient is already stage 4 – thankfully your mother has survived that ordeal, but now she has to battle it in the liver, lungs and bones, unfortunately this is last stage. This is hard.
Once it is in the liver, there is little time because the liver is responsible for so many things in the body, along with the lungs.
I cannot give you a time frame, i am not God. But keep her comfortable, alot of pain medication will help her pass without being in pain.
In training we were taught some signs of approaching death.
1) Shallow and irregular breathing
2) Low urine output
3) Little or no appetite
and some more that i forgot.
My dad was diagosed with lung cancer – 4 months later he was dead. It spread to the liver and bones, and brain but my mother didn’t even tell me (i was 13).
May she have a peaceful passing. God bless you and your family
