I Have Been Diagnosed With Stage IV Lung Cancer. It

I have been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. It has moved into my bones. After 6 mo of taking chemo pills twice a day, the cancer in my lungs has shrunk by 60%. The cancer in the bones has increased slightly.
I need a timeline....just an 'educated guess'. I have plans to make depending on if I can expect 2 years or 5 years. I have absolutely no pain, I work 40+ hours a week - sometime working 10-14 days in a row. No cough, no shortness of breath. If not for the small side effects of the medicine - I would not know I was sick. Can you help me?
