Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
My mother is 76 years old, suffers from severe COPD along with most other smoking related lung diseases. She hasn't smoked for 10 years, but was diagnosed* with Stage 1 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer in September last year.
Her lungs are too weak to get a biopsy, and as a result she can't get chemo or an exact cancer type, and she has decided against any other form of treatment.
What would he expected life expectancy be? I know this can be wide ranging, but the only answers i can find online are for those who have treatment. I am obviously not looking for an exact answer but just a guide for someone with her medical history and cancer stage?
many thanks
