How long does it take for the cancer to progress through the stages?
I understand it is slow growing (5 years from start?)
Is there a 'general' time frame from stage 2 to 3 and stage 3 to 4?
I have been diagnosed stage 4, with "tens" of tumors on liver and one lung. My doc deferred sending me for 6 months for test and said it was IBS? Would this delay have made a difference to developing metastasis/ spread?
