My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks before Christmas, he was the healthiest person I’ve ever known before this, he’s 62 and has unfortunately smoked since he was around 12, he started chemotherapy today and has been told without it he’d have 6-12 months, I know it’s not exact but I was wondering how long he will have with the chemotherapy 

  • Hi AbbieA and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Your dad's medical team will be in the best position to answer your question so with your dad's permission maybe you could ask them about this and any other questions that may be playing on your mind.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position with their friends and loved ones will be along soon to share their experiences with you but do feel free to join in on other discussions that are similar to your own by using the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above.

    Wishing your dad all the best with his chemotherapy.

    Kind regards,
