It depends on many factors, for example, age. Older people's cells reproduce less, so even the more aggressive cancers affect the body more slowly than it does with young people.
2 :
It can depend on when the cancer was detected, the treatment given and many other factors. They could live long and happy lives or they could die tomorrow.
3 :
Depends on how early the doctors discover the bowel cancer. The doctors told my brother in-law that people usually have 5 to 10 years if the cancer is found at an early stage, but as for having luekemia as well, I cannot say.
4 :
Don't know too much about leukemia, but the average for colon cancer stage 4 is 19 months. This doesn't go for everyone- my grandfather had colon cancer stage 4 and he had all the surgeries and took all the chemotherapy, yes it was hard, but now his cancer is gone and he has gained weight!
