Survival rate and life expectancy of Stage 4 colon cancer?

Question:

My best friends mother found out 3 weeks ago she had stage 4 colon cancer they did surgery yesterday, she removed part of her small intestine and all of her female organs, b/c it had spread to there...He didn't remove the lymph nodes around that area b/c he said it didn't matter...He says he can't tell us anything until he gets results back from some test. He said this is a very aggressive cancer and she would have to fight it very aggressive with chemo. We kept trying to ask him questions but he said he could not answer them at this point. We just want to know what we are facing, can she beat this? What is the best case scenerio? If the chemo doesn't respond, then what? How long do we have w/her...weeks, months, years....will it return....so many questions...no answers....we just want someone to shoot it to us straight....if you can help i would greatly appreciate it...

Answers:
So sorry to hear this, my prayers to you all...First, there are many types of cancer.Is it small or large cell. Small cell cancer depending you can live three to fourteen months. Large cell is a slower cancer in most cases. Much success in colon cancer if found in early stages. They will do testing to see if the cancer has mastisized or not...As hard as it seems a positive attitude and diet and lots of prayers are most important. God Bless you all and stay strong.
