Every type of cancer has stages. I pasted this from cancer.gov, hope it helps! Stage four cannot be cured. I lost my Dad when i was 17 from cancer. I'm so so sorry and I wish the best for you and your family.

Stage 0-Carcinoma in situ (early cancer that is present only in the layer of cells in which it began).

Stage 1,2,3- Higher numbers indicate more extensive disease: greater tumor size, and/or spread of the cancer to nearby lymph nodes and/or organs adjacent to the primary tumor.

Stage 4-The cancer has spread to another organ.

poodlemagnet	Posted Jul 13th, 2009 at 1:30AM Cancer is staged by the degree of involvement in the tissue it starts in and whether it has spread outside that tissue. For example: In a person who has a colon cancer there are 4 stages possible. stage 1: cancer starts in colon, stage 2,3: cancer has moved throughout all tissue layers in the colon to the outside of the colon to the mesentary and lymph nodes,stage 4: cancer has also spread to another organ like the liver or lungs.
