Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your mother 's situation and problem. Your mother is having stage 4 thyroid cancer. Lung metastasis in thyroid cancer is very rare. But when present, suggests poor prognosis. Stage 4 thyroid cancer is having life expectancy of less than 2 years. Five year survival rate is less than 30%. Chemotherapy can increase survival rate in some patients. So better to consult oncologist and start appropriate chemotherapy.
