    It is so hard to answer this

    With her being on Keytruda and depending on her age and overall health it could be a month it could be years. It vary so much from person to person one just can't answer this. I am sorry as I know if you knew more it may help but all I can say is just treasure each day and not worry about when it may end as your focus will be taken from where it needs to be....with your mom in the here and now. May you have many wonderful memories together.
