Stage 4 cancer means that the cancer has spread beyond its local lesion. Survival rate is 30-50 %. Patients have been cured even from this stage. At this critical time, I would suggest that all of the family members support each other and have faith in the almighty. Your mother in law is right, miracles do happen. Have faith, be strong.
