6-12 months?????: Rough guess: 6-12 months. It depends on amount of spread, therapy, how well or ill you are, and many other factors. The best estimate will come from your oncologist.

Highly variable: In colon cancer, up to 25% survival at 3 years, if good response to chemo. Every colon cancer responds to meds differently, and new genetic tests can help pick meds that might be best. I recommend to get affairs in order, apologize to those who you have wronged/crossed, express love & gratitude to those for whom you care, and find joy and peace in each day. Best wishes! dr. T.
