[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thank you for the query. Well, this is definitely terminal stage of malignant disease, but it is hard to predict life expectancy, but prognosis is very poor,month-3 maximally. Such patients usually dies from liver insufficiency which in final weeks or days cause hepatoencephalopathy and patients will become very confused and not aware of anything. At the same time, kidney and heart function is affected. So he will probably die in hepatic coma. He won't be awake.  You need to treat his pain now, prevent anorexia and avarice bleeding and give him all emotional support. Wish you good health.
