A member asked:
From your experience how long could a person live with lung cancer that has spread into the airways? also has lymphnode cancer.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Lung cancer does not spread to the airways, it begins there. The range of likely life span -- or the possibility of a cure -- depends on the specific type of lung cancer. There are at least a dozen common subtypes and genetic variants. Get the facts, and then be strong and discerning.
