What is the life expectancy of a person with colon cancer?

Update:

sorry, I didn't mean to repeat a question asked eairler. That question was about stage four cancer, are there other thoughts about other stages?

    There really is no reliable way to answer this question. As someone already mentioned, it's dependent on the individual. People with stage 1 are often cured through surgery or other treatments. For the other stages, it all depends on the individual, the treatments chosen, and how long they decide to have the treatments. It is also dependent on if they go into a remission, which there is no way to set a timetable for that.

    I am not a doctor, nor do I know anyone with colon cancer. But, I am pretty sure it would depend on the person, the treatment they are receiving, and their immune system. I am sorry that someone in your life has been diagnosed with this and best wishes in the future. Prayers are with you.

    Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.

    I hope it's long... a family member was just diagnosed.
