Friend in a coma that also has lung cancer. any chance he survives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LungCA&coma: Assuming the coma is due to the lung cancer?...He would have a slim chance of coming out of it. If the coma is due to pneumonia/infection or some other medical condition he might have a chance of coming around.Either way this sounds very serious and good communication with the team of doctors caring for him is essential.Hard decision maybe in his family's future&more informed the better.
