Very hard to say. It depends on how he resonds to the chemo treatments obviously. Many people have been in that type of situtation, and fully beatin the cancer. His doctor can give him a more accurate prognosis. But I wish you the best of luck.

Hang in there. Don't lose hope. Tell everyone you know to pray for him. Many people don't want to tell anyone for fear of unwanted sympathy. That's the wrong approach. You need help from as many people as you can get. I'll start here for you. I'm 46 and found out two months ago I have rectal cancer. I've got allot of people praying for me and I feel better just knowing that. Stay positive and keep him positive. You will feel a change. Everything happens for a reason and out of every thing that seems negative, comes a positive. It's the way of the world. Regardless of the outcome you should know that something good will come from your ordeal. God Bless.

There is no way of telling you this. It depends on his response to the chemo and radiation, his will to live,his overall general health before he got ill, his daily nutrition - all of these contribute to how long or how short his lifespan will be. His physician is your best resource on this.

I am so sorry, what a terrible situation. People are sometimes well-meaning by trying to make you feel better, but I believe people deserve the best information possible whether it be good or bad. Iâ€™m sorry to say many people do not survive this situation. It is very rare that they do. His oncologist has all the information needed to give you the best answer, but from 50 years of keeping cancer data we know the 5 year survival rate for stage 4 colon cancer is 5%. How well your husband does will depend on how well he responds to treatment. Best wishes to you both.

I'm so sorry that your husband is so sick. My family is going through a similar scenario. My brother found out he had cancer 2 weeks before Xmas. He was deer hunting in Nov. and today all he can do is go to the bathroom and go to bed. He has cancer in his lungs, brain, spine, and lymphatics. He went through 10 treatments of radiation and will be starting chemo pretty soon. You will have to ask your husbands oncologist if you want to know his true prognosis. Some people don't want to know. Two oncologists told my brother's wife that they expect he has 3 months left. She won't tell him since I don't think he wants to know. He never asks. He thinks he is going to beat it and we let him think that. If you do a search on cancer, I'm sure you can find a ton of information on it. I would start by looking on Wikipedia. My father died from stomach cancer. My prayers go out for your husband. I hope the treatments really work for him.
