Does this mean it is terminal?

Hello and thanks for your further post

Although Stage 4 means that the cancer has spread to another part of the body, it does not automatically mean its terminal. Many patients can have treatment to control the cancer, often for months or years.

Terminal means when doctors can’t control the cancer with treatment anymore.

When patients are not having any active treatment, it doesn't mean that nothing else can be done. They can be given supportive (palliative) care, with medicines to control any symptoms they may have. Palliative (supportive) care involves easing troublesome symptoms and aiming to improve your quality of life and providing emotional support to the patient and family members. You can read more about their role on the Macmillan website. You can also read more about palliative care on the Marie Curie website.

I hope this reply is of some use.
