That is a question that has no DEFINITE answer. One can only guess. I will agree the prognosis is not good, but how long this person will live....one will have to wait and see.
Would that be in remission or fighting the desease or giving up hope? I am a 3 time cancer survivor and my last bout was with inoperable lung cancer a tmor 7 cm small cell carcinoma, they gave me 3 to 6 months tops. That was fiften years ago.
