Courtnaay, It's hard to tell. I would rely on what the doctors are telling you rather than us. You could also get a second opinion. They are able to view the x-rays and blood counts where as we can't.

Is this question for you or someone you love?

My grandad infact, 69 years old. It is a rather hard question sorry about that.
I dont know much, he has had it before and it came back and spread, he already had chemotherapy for that and a number of operations. His immune system is completely gone as he has no spline & on his first course of chemo, he was given something which killed it off totally so he is very prone to infections too.
Hes a fighter though :)

What are the doctors telling him about how long he has?

I don't think it's possible to answer this.

I know people who had optimistic prognosis's who died quickly. then there are people like my father who almost 3 years ago was told it would be perhaps only months because the cancer prostate that had spread to his bones and brain was so aggressive. He is still alive.
