With each stage of cancer your long term survival rates drop. At stage 4 the cancer is at high risk for spreading to other areas of the body including lympoh nodes which can really complicate things. this is going to suck but according to the information I read stage 4 has a 8-15% survival rate at 5 years. http://coloncancer.about.com/od/stagesan… if it helps, my moms boss had stage 4 and its been about 10 years now and hes still going strong so theres always hope I’m so sorry to hear this.

Average survival is about 2 years, meaning half live longer. This assumes patients go through the usual drugs of 5FU, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, avastin, and erbitux. While the treatment can be tough, others tolerate amazingly well and preserve a very good quality of life. Treatments are definitely worth trying at least. I have many older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer- they frequently do very well with treatment. Blessings 5 year survival is not 50%, closer to 10% or less.
