How Long Can Person With Secondary Lung Cancer Survive?
Hello,
My dad has aesophigal cancer with which he has had a stent fitted to eat. He now has secondary lung cancer which has grown from 0.5cm to 2.5cm in the last 6 weeks. He has had as much chemo and radiotherapy as he can have now and it doesnt look good. we are trying to find out how long he may have. He doesnt really want to talk about it. Any thoughts would be greatfully recieved. Thanks
