The early days of diagnosis are so difficult. Sorry that your family had that experience with the oncologist.
There are so many types of lung cancer, many treatment options, and just as many differences in outcomes.
I would make sure that her team is having a biomarker test run. The result can help to drive treatment plans. None of us come with an expiration date stamped on our foreheads!, take care, hugs, Lisa

And try to have her reach out for support. Many cancer centers have social workers and palliative care staff that can help with processing the emotions and psychological side. They’ll help understand what to expect.
