It's accurate my Cousin has stage 4 Lung Cancer and he wasn't given long to live at all. It also has spread to his liver. Of course there is always chance of remission. Or, the process can be slowed down by treatment. But 9 times out of 10 it's around that area.

Medically speaking this assertion is true. I will tell you what I tell my patients, that have stage 3 and 4 CA. The doctors are not God, and cannot put a time on someone's life. Only God knows the length of time for this man. In the natural medical world though that is a true assertion.

There is no cure for a stage IV cancer. There are some variables that contribute to determining life-expectancy, but this information isn't available to us. My guess is that if this gentleman's oncologist said 3 months, that's probably a pretty good estimate. It may be less... it may be a little more.
