Relative given 18 months

I was wondering if anybody could share their experience please. a family member has been given 18 months to live and has secondary brain cancer and no further treatment options are available. They have deteriorated so much in the last few months, almost lost use of left arm, stumbling when walking and is looking so pale and frail. It’s heartbreaking to see them like this.

Only in their early 60s also.

I am so sorry. Just be with them and give them comfort

A relative of mine was given 5 months and lasted 2. There is no guarantee.
Just be there for support as much as you can.
