Lung Cancer is often: NSCLC is often fatal with 85% fatality rate. Surgery can cure about 1 in 5 people but your husband may have belonged to the other side(4) where it is fatal. Did the cancer recur after his initial surgery(Lobectomy)? Recurrence of lung Cancer is >95% fatal despite all modern treatments available.
