Survival depends on many factors. No one can tell you exactly how long you will live.

I'm one year in with stage 4, I also searched survival rates, wasn't good until I realized the info was very old info. I find that I wake up not thinking about the cancer but about the side effects of treatment. No way is side effects worse then cancer. I try to stay upbeat and enjoy the day. I still work and that helps to distract from everything. They keep coming up with new treatments so there is hope for all of us. Keep up the fight.

Right on! I had Prostate Cancer many many years ago in the early stage, but later developed 4th stage rectal cancer now about 15 years ago. I will be 90 in April, lol.
If you live near NYC I suggest you make contact with Weil Cornell. If not, why not go to Mayo?
Bottom line NEVER GIVE UP and try not to worry. Keep in mind that worry is like a rocking chair; keeps you busy, but gets you nowhere.

Wow, @robertedwsrd, that's 2 cancers very far back in your rearview mirror. I love the phrase "worry is like a rocking chair; keeps you busy, but gets you nowhere." With your permission, I'm going to add that as a staple to my repertoire of wise words. It's a good one and so very true.
