Question
My friend has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer(brain hemmorage) what are the survival rates? Also i am finding it difficult what to say or do.
Answer
Your question is somewhat unclear. Am I to understand that your friend has a cancer somewhere and that that cancer has spread to the brain of your friend and that there also is a brain hemorrhage there (just a brain hemorrhage is not a proof of cancer there)? If indeed that is the case the long term survival rate is unfortunately almost always 0 (zero) and the survival time can usually be measured in months or sometimes even less. I do not understand your last sentence. Please clarify!
