Started in her colon and spread to her liver and ovaries. She waited and selfdiagnosed her self for at least 2 months before she found out.


Answer:
If the cancer has spread to liver, the news is bad I’m afraid.
Even with treatment she may not live for more than a few months.

Answer:
Unfortunately, waiting might have cost her her life. With cancer you can’t wait because it is a progressive disease . .it starts out small and will grow larger and more massive, spred, seed more malignant cells into the body . . indefinitely, unless treatment stops it.

It is impossible to know what her chances are with this cancer . . much depends on tumor location, stage, grade, the age and overall health of the patient, and her first response to chemotherapy. Hopefully her doctors will be able to get her disease under control to stop any further spred or growth. No one really knows what will happen at this point for her . . just hope for the best.


Answer:
This sounds like wide spread disease. The long term prognosis is bad. The honest answer to your question is, that in terms of survival things don“t look good. But that being said there are treatments available that often helps controlling the disease for a while.
