A member asked:

What can approx survival length me for mcrc pt with 1 liver met , 1 lymph node met and 1 sub pleural nodule ? all under 2 cm. but chemo not responding

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1 day - 5+ years: There's no predicting, Marilyn. This person may die tomorrow of a pulmonary thromboembolus related to the presence of cancer, or may prove a candidate for a new medication in the pipeline that brings about a long remission. Take each day as it comes.
