Mom diagnosed wi/stage iv non small cell lung cancer its mets to bones, a lymph node, pancreas. what is her chances of survival?

Sadly, not good: I'm so very sorry, but stage IV lung cancer, especially ones that have spread as much as your mother's has spread, doesn't carry a very good survival. But, you should get together with your doctor and a cancer specialist to figure out the best treatment options. I would also figure out overall goals of care and find out what your mom would want. Best of luck, and hang in there, ok?

Dr Milstone and another doctor agreed

I agree: I agree with dr. Wright. Try to be sure that mom understands the difference between palliative treatment and curative treatment. Any treatment she receives will be palliative. With support from family and friends and health care providers, she should not procrastinate on end-of-life planning.

Tough: Not curable but treatable. Survival depends on several factors, performance status-meaning how she is doing and how many side effects. Also depends on how well and if she responds to chemotherapy. Hope this helps.
