A way to think about this is by looking at John Green's inspiration for the book, Esther Grace Earl (who is NOT Hazel). Esther was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer at age 12 and died at age 16. Hazel was diagnosed at age 13 and many theories assume she died about a year after Agustus, which would mean she would be about 17 (However Green never announced when she would've died as "Books belong to their readers").
