srry to hear that. i lost both parents to it dad’s was caught early and had
the treatment got very sick then recovered and lived 3yrs. 2 1/2 yrs he was ok in remission then came back second treatment gave him heart attack he never recovered, He opted against medical advice for a last ditch treatment which likely killed him a few weeks earlier;
Mom’s "Dr" had his head up his ass and she went months wo diagnosis. It was finally caught by accident by another dr who saw something on the edge of xray. That moron finally realised was not a nerve disorder and ordered the wrong tests his nurse then lost the results more bureacracy more delays cancer spreading finally treatment starts it was rough. Mom with coaching from the so called professionals gave up and was allowed to starve to death. my friends and family pressured me not to take legal action and respect her wishes. I will never know if it was right thing to do
Sorry for ramble to answer ur question mom lasted bout 6 weeks after
spread to brain but she would have had months if the feeding was done. Maybe years if had been treated properly that Dr and others who caused this are alive because i promised mom i would be ok and that does not include prison or worse
