hi, could anyone please let me know what the life expectancy of a cancer patient may be? here are the details: brain methastases (7 tumors, quite large, inoperable), originating either in the breast or the tyroid. 58 yrs, female, heavy smoker... has developed a left hand side paralysis due to brain tumors.
i look forward to hearing your answers. thank you

there is a chart for every cancer by age and by stage but, hate to tell you, but 7 inoperatable tumors on the brain is usualy fatal rather quickly.
good luck,

34 months and still here

My mom had neuroblastoma (primary brain tumor age 69), she told the doctor he couldn't know how long she would live only God knew that for sure.
He told us (out of her room) he would hope for 6 months....she lived just over 2 years.
