Quanto tempo me resta, doutor?
How long do I have left, Doc?
Ex.:
1 – Deram-me dois, no máximo seis meses de vida.
They gave me two, at most six months to live.
2 – Os médicos deram-lhe apenas seis meses de vida.
Doctors gave him only six months of life.
3 – Ele tem apenas seis meses de vida.
He has only six months to live.
On the other hand:
Ele tem apenas seis meses de vida.
He is only six months old.

I was remarking to Thomas that even native speakers can be thrown off in translation especially where there is only a minimal difference between two languages. This looks like a good example.
