I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer in October of 2009. They told me my life expectancy was 8 months with no chemo - maybe 18 months with the chemo. Tell your brother not to believe any of it. I went from a CEA marker of 96.8 down to 8.8 in 4 months. It depends entirely on him and how much he wants his life back. Tell him to get a team of people around him - especially those who believe in the mind, body, spirit connection. Get a chiropractor, an energy healer, do the chemo, do your emotional work, get everyone you know and their mother to pray for him. Do it all, think up new stuff, and don't quit. I'm hoping to live a very long life - because I realized this was all my own doing and God would support me in reversing it if I wanted it badly enough. I do. Good luck. Barb 760-597-0825
Unfortunately, there have been very few cases of people who have lived more than 5 years with stage 4 of this disease. However, with improvements in chemotherapy a person can control the symptoms and prolong the life of a sufferer. Here don't ever forget that your chance of beating cancer is strongly dependent on your determination and attitude throughout.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer of any type, the doctor usually provides a numerical stage number. Stage 1 is the least invasive type of cancer and is generally considered to be an early stage. Hence, stage 4 is just the opposite, normally describing cancers that are rather invasive or progressed. Therefore, stage 4 cancers are generally discussed in conjunction with anticipated life expectancy questions
