Can A Stage 3b Lung Cancer Patient Show Healthy Symptoms?

I believe someone is being dishonest about having stage 3b lung cancer, I have been researching typical symptoms etc. and I am not having any luck....is this something you can help me with?
He was told he has 3 months to live and has refused treatment. He has not lost any weight, or shown loss of appetite, he was able to shovel heavy snow and engage in vigorous sexual activity three or four times a night without coughing or wheezing....He said he was coughing up blood and throwing up blood, but I have been with him four consecutive days and see no evidence of this. Please help me.....I will feel stupid If I am being duped :(

Hi
Thanks for your query.

Given the fitness level of the patient, the expected survival should be higher, especially with treatment. Has he been treated already? We can throw more light if you can provide us with all the treatment details and reports.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
