Hi all my first post here some messages I'm reading are just so amazing 

my father in law broke his hip and whilst in hospital they found he has stage 2a lung cancer right upper lobe 5cm tumour left upper lobe 1.6cm tumour it hasn't spread any further but due to his health and being disabled in a wheelchair full time and having copd stage 2 he has been told they will not be treating him so he is reffered to palliative care they won't do a biopsy so we don't even know what type of cancer it is we do know it's non small cell 

nobody can give us any sort of a time scale just that we have to look out for more symptoms I need to know how long we have with him even just a rough idea how long do we have from stage 2 to end of life
