A member asked:
Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc in 10/2012 tumors in lung, omentum, spine, ribs, has now spread to liver and other lung..how much time?

An answer: I'm not an oncologist; however, from reviewing the prognosis tables available to me from an online reference (7th TNM staging system), the median time (50% are deceased and 50% are still alive) is around 8 months. The five year survival rate is < 10%. I'm sorry she's so sick.

Brief: Love her, and talk about everything you want to know about her life and yours. A few months perhaps.
