It really depends on the stage of cancer, and the will and strength of the person, unless the cancer becomes overpowering, as well as the actions taken to fight against it. Treatment and what not. With cancer really there is no way to tell. It takes miracles either direction.

How many different stages are there of colon cancer?
There is a short answer to this question and lots of long answers. The short answer is, there are 4 stages of cancer. In general, stage I cancer is confined to a small area of the body, stage II is a larger cancer and may have started spreading to nearby lymph nodes, stage III may involve more nearby lymph nodes or tissues that are close by, and stage IV has spread to far areas of the body. Each type of cancer has it's own criteria to decide what the stage is; for example, a person with a cancer of the tongue will have different staging criteria than a person with colon cancer. There is no Stage V. Many types of cancer staging also have "a" or "b" added to give additional information. These letters can mean different things depending on what type of cancer is described. A person with stage IV cancer is not necessarily on the verge of death. If the cancer has spread (metastasized) to one isolated area it may be treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of those. If a person with breast cancer has a single area of spread to a bone, say in the pelvis, that area could be radiated and that person could live for several years before another spot of cancer shows up. However, a person with stage IV cancer and has a heavy load of cancer, say for instance in the liver, lungs, spine, brain, may become severely ill and pass away in a relatively short amount of time. The best thing to do is to ask your doctor about your particular stage. There are so many cancer types and so many people that the possibilities are widely varying in how well a person will do.
