Medical after cancer

It claims, for example, that with colon cancer it might only take six
months, whereas with some lung cancers, it could take five years.

I still don't understand why they care. The risk of _sudden_ incapacitation
from metastases is virtually zero.

As if that weren't enough, one can imagine the impact on someone with
extremely advanced metastatic disease that is not likely to resolve when the
doctor says, "Oh, and for your last six months, you're not allowed to do what
you love the most."
