Can't tell: What is the primary, and what type of cancer? There are literally thousands. If this is the first time it has been diagnosed, this may be a type that we can cure. Most people with metastatic disease that is this extensive live less than 12 months, but there are many variables and no physician ever really says, "you have thus-and-so long to live." cherish each day.

Stage IV lung cancer: Straight to the point...There is nothing that will change or delay the inevitalbe. Everyday is a blessing and is precious and you should treat it as such. The text books will say six months or less but it is usually a lot less. Some patients will last a few days and others will take a few weeks depending on their overall strength. They are only traveling the path we all will soon follow.
