Cancer metastasis

When cancer spreads , the survival rate drops sharply like i was studying this topic in my curriculum and i read there’s 12% survival rate if the metastasis has occured on a large scale which simply means that the cancer has spread to almost all the body parts and imagine you are telling the family of patient that their person has 12% chance to make through it. I had to stop and cry to process that. Since im not directly into medicine i would like to ask all the doctors and future doctors that how do you find strength in such cases i mean it definitely takes a lot of courage i can’t even imagine.

Anyways for those who want to explore prognosis on metastasis, read here:
