There is no “typical answer” for this. It depends on what stage of cancer they have identified it as. The farther along the cancer is, the chances of survival typically decrease, as does the amount of time allotted. But no matter what, there is chemotherapy, and most of all HOPE!
Cancers spread at different rates in each patient, so only a doctor after many tests can attempt to make a diagnosis of this. It can also depend on how different people respond to the treatment given.
With lung cancer patients sadly by the time an initial diagnosis has been made the cancer is to often too advanced for a cure.
My brother did not even have a cough until the end, though he was very weak and tired when he was diagnosed. By this time the cancer had spread and he only lived for a few months.
The sooner the diagnosis is made the better, then treatment can be started, so checking out any symptoms with the doctor is essential as soon as possible as these symptoms could be a number of things.
I have known two people who have died from lung cancer in the past few years. Both of them lived about 3 years after initial prognosis. However, you should research medical sites, because I am sure that it all depends on the type of lung cancer that they have and what stage they are in. Both of these individuals were probably diagnosed in Stage 1.
The doctors said for my dad who had a lug cancer : ” He will live about 5 / 6 months ” .. He lived 7 …
Perhaps that can be better for yours ? I hope for you …
My heart goes out to you and your dad. My father has lung cancer as well.
During this difficult time, be aware that your question is a very complicated one, and one that no one, even his doctor, will be able to answer with any real certainty. Everyone is different, and every person with cancer has a unique course and prognosis. That being said, life expectancy is based upon multiple factors such as:
Age at diagnosis
Type of cancer (there are several different kinds of lung cancer)
Stage at which the cancer was found
Treatment
General heath status including other diseases such as heart disease or diabetes
All these things are important to consider. My father was lucky in that his cancer was found very early, but he is older and has many other health problems. He was not offerred chemotherapy because, quite frankly, it probably would have made him sicker, given that he has so much other stuff going on.
Unfortunately, lung cancer is typically not diagnosed until it is late stage, because that is when symptoms usually show up. There are some treatments available but they are not always effective, especially if the cancer is very aggressive (fast-growing).
Your dad’s oncologist is the best one to evaluate his prognosis based upon all these factors. In the meantime, just focus on being with your dad and giving him your love and support!
When my dad was 73 years old he was diagnosed with lung cancer, they told him as he had a bad heart he might not survive the operation, they operated and removed part of his lung, he survived and was home the following week and make a complete recovery. 3 years later he died of bowel cancer but we were told it was not connected to the lung cancer.
It all depends on what stage your dad is at and his general health and age but my prayers are with you. God Bless.
I have to agree with others that it all depends on the circumstances, severity/stage of the disease, age, health of your Dad, and God’s will.
I already said prayers for you and your Dad. I hope he beats cancer like a red headed step child! People survive all kinds of cancers. Don’t give up hope.

It depends on the stage, his other health factors, and his age.
Eary stage lung cancers are often treatable and beatable. Late stage ussualy have very poor survival rates, although chemo can extend life.

I’m sure it depends on the case. Good luck to you two.
