Bad news, the prognosis for stage 1 non small cell lung cancer is 3% survival after 5 years, assuming surgery and chemotherapy. slightly better for women. New drugs like Larissa and Angiogenesis Inhibitors are adding months to that but it's a bad condition and an earlier diagnosis may have had no effect. If I were a lawyer I could argue that.
