3-month survival for stage IV lung cancer? Is it true? Need hope
I was on internet checking for stats on survival time for stage IV lung cancer. One site mentioned that most people have a 3 month survival time!! Obviously, I was shocked and very discouraged re: my diagnosis over month ago. I have still to consult doctor and find out what type of cancer I have. I know it is NSCC non small cell cancer which metastiziced to my right temple which makes it stage IV. I will need to go for further test to see where it may be surfaced. A PET scan over month ago found it left lung.

I’m sure you will get some good feedback here regarding stage IV lung cancer and it’s not as hopeless as you might think, I also look up everything and it can get scary. I do know that many people are living long and happy lives with cancer due to better treatments and drugs to make it possible, ask lots of questions from the doctors and get as much information as you need to help you get through this difficult time, eventually you’ll start to adjust to changes that come along, also please stay connected with this site so that you can ask questions about what is happening and you will definitely not feel overwhelmed and alone because you’re not alone, best wishes for a good recovery.
