A member asked:

What is the prognosis of life expectancy of someone diagnosed with nsclc with mets to, liver, multiple bones, multiple lymph nodes and brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NSCLC: Unfortunately, the prognosis isn't good. One year survival is about 30%. 5 year survival with distant mets is less than 4%. Just remember that statistics are valid for groups. Who knows what grace God might bestow on any individual?
