Could be Years: As dr. Singh explained, there are too many variables that are unknown in order to answer this question. However, if the bone is the only site of spread and if the cancer is sensitive to chemotherapy, one can almost consider bony metastasis as a chronic illness--controllable but not curable--with which one may live for years.
