What does it mean when you are told a patient's cancer is a level 5?

Question:

Answers:
I was going to answer this until I read bellydoc's' answer, which is exactly correct.
My family, which is 'full of cancers' has had the disease referred to in terms of 'levels' and 'stages'. I once had a level 2 skin cancer which the doctor told me was actually no worse than a moderate sunburn because it hadn't permeated too deeply into the skin. It was also a basal cell carcinoma which is the most easily curable.
So it was a 'low level type of tumour'.
Level 5 is, without a doubt, very serious, but it is NOT incurable as yet!
Make sure and read "BELLYDOC'S" answer a couple of times as it is chalk full of excellent information. God belss him too.
It is going to take some very aggressive treatment to stop it, but don't give up the hope of having it go into remission and/or be cured!
God Bless you and thanks for reading.

it means its untreatable ,and not long left in this life!!(sorry)
