    It all depends on whether they decide to try some chemo, if they do nothing, how widespread the cancer is, whether it has spread to other organs, what kind of cancer cells are growing. There is no way to tell someone how much time they have left. The important thing is to live each day you have to its fullest.

    It depend Hun on how far along the cancer is. There are four stages of cancer. I had an uncle that lived for 6 years after he was diagnosed with lung cancer and a friend that lived 3 months after she was diagnosed. So it really just depends. Also if there is any treatment or not will be a deciding factor.
