A member asked:
How much time will my mother live when she is diagnosed with colon cancer - adenocarcinoma at stage 3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colon cancer: nobody knows how long one would live . it depends on so many factors- i.e. her age, her overall condition, other medical problems, whether she would get therapy or refuse therapy etc. Most importantly is for you to cherish and support her while you still can. statistically, 5 year overall survival for stage 3 colon cancer- around 50-60%. In stage 3, the therapy is still aiming for a cure.
