How long would you say a person suffering from terminal cancer of the bladder (which has spread to the lymph nodes) would live for, with the treatment of chemotherapy?

Smile loves California Apr 16th, 2009 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?

- courtnaayy.x 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 :)

Wynper Apr 16th, 2009 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.
