Suggest Prognosis Of Lung Cancer Without Treatment
My 87 year old non smoking mother was just diagnost with lung cancer and has decided not to have chemo. It has spread a little to nodes between lungs. Only one lung has small tumor in it. How harsh is radiation treatment if it is recommended and how long as an average can she live without any treatment. She is feeling not to bad right now but how long before quality of living is drastically reduced.
