Seeking Info On Stage 4 Lung Cancer….?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

My Step-Father was recently told he had Lung Cancer. Waiting on test results to find out what type. Drs. recently told my Mom he is in stage 4. My question is-What exactly is stage 4? And – How much longer does he have because Drs. don’t believe it can be cured due to the severeness of it? He is in his 70’s. Any info will be appreciated. Also, if you have a smart comment on this don’t bother- this is a very touchy situation for me. Thanks.

What Is The Approximate Survival Rate Of The Stage Iv Lung Cancer?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

One of my very close relatives was diagnosed to have kidney cancer on September last year. She underwent a surgery, which reportedly went very well. But, she went back to re-check this summer and was detected that the cancer has spreaded over both of her lungs. Since this September, she has been taking a medication named Gefitinib, which is supposed to be the only effective drug against lung cancer as of today.
But I would really want to know what is her real chance of surviving from the lung cancer.
Thank you very much.
