Re: Non small cell lung cancer

MIL was diagnosed at 79 with stage 4, she went thru extensive chemo but no surgery.
She wasn't expected to live 3 months after her diagnosis - doctors never told her that - but she lived for almost 5 years.

Remember with cancers, EVERYONE is different. What works for one may not work for another and vice-versa.

Wishing the best for your dad and your family.

Cancer that has spread to distant organs is stage 4. Surgery is usually not an option for stage 4 cancer so he will likely receive chemo.

He will likely have further tests to look for biomarkers, gene mutations, etc. This will help his oncologists choose the best treatment.

I would suggest researching oncologists and only choosing ones at highly regarded cancer centers. MSKCC, Cornell, NYU are all great options. This is not an instance when you want to see a local, private practice doctor.

I'm so sorry. Hang in there.
