That's a question a doctor needs to answer for you.

Well, I can't answer that. Sometimes doctors will tell people, you are going to die, it is impossible for you to live, you only have three months. And they'll live for many years more and the cancer will go away. Other times, they'll tell them the cancer seems to have spread too far and the person will live. The amount of time and life expectancy is different with every single person and every cancer. Even the doctor cannot be completely sure. If you are going through this, I am extremely sorry, I wish the best for you, and hope you are at peace with this, though it would be hard to.

Long term survival rates are around 10%. As far as how long the rest of them survive, it depends on many things. How far the cancer has spread and to what organs, the age and other health factors of the patient, as well as if they get the proper treatments or not. Could be anywhere from a few months to several years.

The 5 year survival rate is 5%.
