What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person Suffering With Colon Cancer?
My husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, with spots in lung and liver. They took out the main tumor as it was blocking the colon. There are other spots in the colon. He is 84. What is the expected outcome for him, statistically how long could he be expected to live.
