Answer:
It depends on the type of cancer, the rate of progression, the general health of the individual involved etc.
Also you need to remember that just because a person has cancer it doesn't automatically mean they are going to die. You really need to be speaking to the oncologist involved. Assume nothing until you have more facts.
Answer:
It completely depends on in what stage the cancer is in, where their cancer is located, if it has metastasized, and how well the person responds to treatments.

My nan has terminal cancer in the bone marrow. But she has been informed she has 2 to 3 months. : (… But its really depends on what type of cancer, where it is and the size of it. Your probs best off to ask a doctor or someone who has the same type. It also depends on the person and how their body copes with illness and things. People can get better from certain cancers so try to keep your hopes up. My nan was told 20 years ago that she only had a few months when she got breast cancer but 20 years on here she is.

Answer:
I've got cancer and I'm not going to die. It depends on what kind of cancer, whether it has spread, where it has spread to, etc, etc. Every single person is different. My grandfather was given 6 months to live and that was 10 years ago! I've got cancer, but not the kind that is likely to lead to death. It also depends on your level of health and activity.
Plus, even if the doctors tell you a time frame, it's not possible to be accurate.
Eat good food, stay active, etc.
Answer:
There are so many factors it is almost impossible to determine how long a person may have. Even doctors are hard-pressed to give an accurate estimate, which would be based on their experiences.
What kind of cancer is it? Has it metastasized, if so what stage is it at? Is the patient undergoing any kind of treatment, if so what kind? Does the patient have only the one kind of cancer or more than one kind?
My mother has stage 3 ovarian cancer, and is not undergoing any treatment. Based on her age and the advancement of the disease, as well as the reputation ovarian cancer has for being a highly aggressive disease which is rarely caught early, she was given six to twelve months to live. This estimate was given almost two years ago; and she is now at the point where she has had to move in with us because she is no longer able to care for herself or her house. I've talked to Hospice people who have seen patients far exceed the doctors' estimates, even a few who have gone into complete remission; and other patients who are given a year or more, only to succumb days later. It's all a guessing game, based on facts.
Answer:
It all depends on what stage the cancer is at. I had a next door neighbour that was diagnosed at the end of December and he died in the middle of February. My wife's aunt was diagnosed in January and died two weeks later. All depends. Take that women who was given a couple of months, and died two years later after doing loads of marathons, cycling etc and raised millions for charity. Both my neighbour and aunt-in-law could not even get out of bed.
