Prognosis

It’s hard to talk about the prognosis of advanced lung cancer because we will be talking about statistics that were gathered before several of the preferred treatments for advanced lung cancer became available... That said, there are long-term survivors of advanced lung cancer, and that number is growing.

I have a friend who has been living with stage IV lung cancer for over a year now. While her doctors say it is terminal, she is doing well under her current course of treatment, and I hope that continues for as long as possible.

Much of it depends on the specific cancer, and the genetics of the patient. I hope Rush is one of those who can be saved.

Thank you for those ray of hope posts from both of you. I pray our beloved El Rushbo is one of those lucky survivors. I just can't imagine the world without him...
