I am so sorry to hear about your mom. However, this isn't the forum to ask that question. It will only give you false hope. Talk to her doctor.

The physicians will have a treatment. Her body's response to the therapy will be the big factor. When they feel it is appropriate they will recommend hospice care. No one focuses on guessing an exact life span. It is not the cancer which kills but the interruption of something necessary such as breathing, the circulation, or digestion. Focus on the quality of life. We are all mortal. We just do not know when.

Where in her abdomen? What stage is it? From what I've read, sarcoma has a high rate of survival, but you need more info in the question for me to give my unlicensed answer.

Saarcomas vary so in aggressiveness that I could not guess. Some are diagnosed and after removal the patient lives many years. In others spread to lungs, liver, bones and brain is rapid. Did she show any spread?

I'm assuming she has uterine sarcoma?? Her prognosis totally depends on how much the cancer has spread and her response to the appropriate treatment. See this website for good info:

It depends on the stage, and if it has metastatasized
Usually no one can predict time lines..
You just go on averages based on staging.
I would never tell your mom how long she has left if she were my patient
I would just ask her to get everything in order.
And I would, after staging, get hospice involved

Get her to an acupuncturist asap. Chinese medicine and herbs works miracles!
