It depends on from where the tumor is arising and in what stage it is in, type of tumor etc. to predict the prognosis. One thing is that all tumors have to be treated and it appears a slow growing types as he has it for a year as you say-nevertheless persuade him to treatment for good quality of life and indeed modern treatments prolong life to few years-..and all treatments are affordable nowadays
