It's one of the slowest to metastasize, as far as I am aware. Mine was 4 cm when it was spotted. I can't remember how long it was before they started operating on it.
It's a long story. I had numerous treatments on the cancer and then a transplant back in 2015. The transplant has not been without its problems. But I still live.
There will be a lot for you to get used to.
Three rules I have learned from experience.
(1) Always pack more underpants than you think you will need.
(2) Always expect mission creep, so that when it happens you will not be too upset.
(3) Audiobooks on your phone and comics on your Kindle are worth having to hand.
It's possible that you will be alive many years from now but many things will need doing for that to be so. Fortunately, a lot of it fades from memory quite quickly.
