Colon Cancer That Has Travelled Into Lymph Nodes. Due For Chemo. Possible Life Expectancy?
My girlfriend has colon cancer that has traveled into her lymp nodes they could not remove them all. She is going to do chemo. Something about inserting something into her body and doing chemo 2 days on 2 weeks off. She is not ready to talk to me about it. What does this mean? What is her life expectancy? She mentioned she may always have to be on chemo. ?hlywd
hi thanks for your question. life expectancy depends on clinical stage, if she is stage 3A, 5 year survival is 83 percent in terms of prognosis. Most likely the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, that is why she has to be on chemotherapy for long. Hope I answered your question.
