A patient is diagnosed to have Po cancer cells at time t = 0 and these cells grow subsequently according to P = −aP(M – P) where P(t) is the number of the cells at time t while a and M are two given positive constants. The patient will die when the number of bugs approaches infinity. Consider the case Po > M for the prognosis of the patient, i.e., find the time the patient has left to live.
