Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It depends on type of tumor but if this is stage 4 and such rapid progression then prognosis is very poor unofrtunately,for few months to 1 year usually but you should ask your oncologist about this.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
