All I know is I miss the way you smile

Haaaa GAYYYY this guy has feelings n shhit

So I guess stage 4 cancer means you're basically going to die pretty soon? (like in 1-5 years)

Just found out my uncle has stomach cancer that spread to his liver. They're doing more tests to see how bad it is. I'm not too familiar /w the stages of cancer, but I know stage 4 is the worst.

Sorry to hear bruh

He is a cool uncle, but I'm not all that broken up about it atm.

I mainly just wanted to know more about how bad stage 4 cancer is, since I don't know much about it

Stage 4 has like a less than 5% survival rate if I remember correctly

Edit: yup, sorry to hear brah. Cancer is a bitch and has killed just about everyone in my family

Stage 4 Cancer Survival Rate
A patient whose cancer cells have invaded other organs aside from its origin is said to be in Stage IV cancer, which usually carries a grim prognosis compared to earlier stages of the disease. The five-year survival rate for patients in this stage may depend on different factors such as the type of cancer he has, his overall general health, the type of treatment used and the patient's will power to overcome the disease. As mentioned above, the five-year survival rate is expressed as the percentage of patients who will probably live up to 5 years after diagnosis of the disease based on research on patients with the same type and stage of cancer. A 60% 5-year survival rate therefore indicates that it is estimated that 60 out of every 100 patients will live for 5 years after diagnosis while the rest (40 of 100) will probably die. This is just an estimate and not an exact number, since many factors influence the progress of one's disease. The following is a summary of the 5-year survival rates of different types of cancer in Stage IV based on research:

Cancer Type
5-Year Survival Rate (%)
Lung
50%
Colon
8%-15%
Liver
Primary Tumor
Secondary Tumor
30%
0%
Brain
less than 20%
Stomach
5%
Pancreatic
4%
Ovarian
17%
Prostate
33%
Breast
16%
Skin
15%-20%

Wow, 5% for 5+ years.

I didn't know it was that bad. My dad was making it sound like it was something you could live with for awhile. Going to be a solemn Christmas.

It's really a bad sign that it's spread to the liver. It could be much earlier than 5 years. Sorry to hear bro

Eh, like I said, I'm not all that upset. I mean he was cool and all, but I see my aunts/uncles like twice a year max.

I'm actually more upset about finding a typo on this letter of intent I submitted to 2 universities ...I even had a professor proofread it, and went over it numerous times myself... too late to edit too...

Saw the the hobbit pretty lost didn't see the first two and I read the book in 7th grade
