Did you ask your Oncologist for a prognosis?
What did they say?
Have you gone past it?
Up until now I havent wanted to know but decided now I do.
I'm trying to get a realistic idea beforehand so it won't be too much of a shock or surprise when the Oncologist tells me.
On Google it says 8- 9 months for lung cancer with bone mets, but everybody says not to look on Google in case its out of date
and I expect its different with or without treatment.
I'd appreciate honesty, even if it hurts.
Thanks xxx.
Hiya , please don’t look on Google , April last year my mum was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer - adrenocarcinoma- it is in her left lung spots on adrenal gland and rib cage - stage 4- I read everything on line - by this time I was planning a funeral in my head as I was so scared and there was nothing positive on Google , then I found this website and there are many people on here who will tell you the same, everyone cancer is different/ treatment plans / depends how they respond / my mum scan shows no cancer in the ribs - and the lung and adrenal gland have shrunk her treatment had been 1 year so far, it’s been hard I won’t lie, and she is still having treatment every 21 days, xxx There are a lot of peopel on here who have had treatment and doing amazing , but a lot of people don’t return to the website to tell there story , xxx
