Stage 4: I am sorry to hear about your brother. Despites a very agressive therapy, unfortunately a stage IV lung cancer means the cancer has spread systemically-beyond the lung itself. It is treatable , but incurable unfortunately. It is, unfortunately, only time, before it shows up again somewhere.Read this, hope it helps http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/coping/when-someone-you-love-has-advanced-cancer.
