Thank you so much for responding to me. You have given us hope we weren't sure we had.
Hi there.
While the diagnosis of lung cancer is indeed of concern, the good thing is that the disease seems to be localized to a small spot. This is indeed better than catching the disease late or in wide-spread state.
With a disease this localized, he can undergo a surgical procedure to remove the tumor and part of the lung, then later undergo adjuvant chemotherapy to better improve his chances of survival.
Survival will depend on resectability and this can be as high as 40-60% in five years, which is far better than the dismal 13% in 2 years for those who had wide spread disease.
Regards and god bless.
