A member asked:

How much time after lung cancer spreads to the lymph nodes is death expecter?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: Occasionally there are still cures with disease in the nodes. With today's treatments, survival is often measured in years. Cherish each day, and be aware of the eventual outcome in your life planning, but don't expect anyone to tell you 'How long'. It's simply not predictable.
