- Hi, my friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer spread to ribs and thighs already and isn’t having any treatment as it was recommended not too by his doctor, they seem to have it in their head that it will only be a matter of weeks that they have left but said they haven’t been told as of yet how long and are awaiting an appointment to see the consultant this week.
I am concerned about their mental health and that of their family as we are all struggling with this prognosis and the unknown, I think what I am asking is could it be as little as weeks that they have left or how long does somebody up until a couple of weeks ago had no idea they had cancer usually survive, is this something anybody would even know apologies for rambling just trying to get what’s in my head answered if this makes my sense.
