A member asked:
How long should a stage four lung cancer patient with metastasis to brain and liver expect to live?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Less than 1 year: There are a number of variables here, including what kind of lung cancer, gender, whether there is a single or small number of metastasis in the brain that can be treated by surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery, general health status and age. The average survival overall is about 8 months for stage 4 disease.

Metastatic lung: Cancer cannot be cured, but survival depends on performance status (ability to ambulate activities of daily living). Certain metastasis dwell quietly and people live on, and some respond. I watch quality, symptoms and weight. Once they fall, time is short. Time for pal care/hospice if not already done.
