New diagnosis questions

Hi there,

My father in law was just diagnosed with kidney cancer that has spread to his lymphatic system and to his lungs. The doctor told him that they don’t think they will be able to get it all. It was found incidentally during a CT. He has no symptoms what so ever.

What does this mean for him? How long can
He expect to live. The doctors didn’t provide any information regarding that. He starts immunotherapy soon and is 55 yo and relatively healthy.

We are all very scared as from what the doctor said, it sounds like a death sentence. Can anyone share any experiences with anything similar? Thanks so much in advance.
