The life expectancy for a colon cancer patient is dependent upon age, general health, outlook on life, stage of cancer, and cancer grade and characteristics. A person who is hopeful and determined will have a much better chance of living longer with colon cancer than someone who simply gives up.
According to the American Cancer Society, people with colon cancer who are classified as Stage 3A have a survival rate of 83 percent after 5 years. Stage 3B patients have a 64 percent survival rate. And Stage 3C patients have a 44 percent survival rate after 5 years. (Ref. 1.)
Each case is unique, and therefore patients should not let themselves be "backed into a corner" by statistics of life expectancy. Fighting cancer with every fiber of your being is crucial in the battle against colon cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
