my mother in law aged 67 has been diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer. Both kidneys are affected alongside uterus and cervix. Drs are saying she is not fit for chemo due to other health probs. most of her children live abroad. How much time does she have left?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Stage 4 cancer is an advanced stage of cancer wherein there is involvement of surrounding as well as distant sites. Treatment in stage 4 is only symptomatic and there is no definitive treatment. The survival time in stage 4 bladder cancer is dismal, however, no exact time period can be determined. It may vary from few weeks to few months. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
