My dad was just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I’ve done some research and read a few answers here on yahoo. Everyone is saying that this is “a death sentence”. I was wondering if anyone knows how long the average life expectancy is of someone with stage four colon cancer…it has spread to the liver and lungs as well.
My grandfather was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He had been going to the doctor every 6 months to get his lungs checked on because he had some problems with them in the past, but none of them were cancerous. I would like to know if its possible that his health went from good to him having stage 4 cancer in only 6 months, or if the cancer had been growing for a while and the doctor just didnt see it.
My Grandpa was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (tumors in both lungs) but they haven’t given him any set time. Does anyone have any idea?
Yes, his doctor doesn’t believe in giving a ‘life expectancy’. Non-small cell lung cancer DOES have 4 stages. I have heard that, with the small amount of chemo he’s receiving once a month, a year is about right.
My best friends mom has stage 4 colon cancer and it has spread to her lungs already, and she is losing her hair. She heard in school that stage 4 cancer gives you 6 months to live, and it freaked her out. any help with this?
