lung cancer survival by stage
lung cancer survival rates?
my mum was recently diagnosed with lung cancer it was in its early stages, but dut to the postion of the tumor, they had to remove the whole lung.
Now i go to to lung cancer sites etc, and they start going by survival rates,?
If my mum is told she is at the moment free of cancer, does this mean she will get it again??
what do these actually mean by *survival rates*??
sorry I do mean *survival statistics* to
my mum has had treatment, and she is at the moment clear of cancer (with no chemo/radio)
what is the chances of her cancer returning? im so fecking scared

Survival rates refer to the number of people who live for x number of years after treatment.
I am sorry for you and your mum having to go through this, but nobody could answer your question except for the surgeon who is doing the check ups and taking follow up x rays.
Lung cancer is a tough one to beat, but some people do it.
From a web site with all those statistics on…
How reliable are cancer statistics?
No statistics can tell you what will happen to you. Your cancer is unique. The same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people.
Make sure your mum is well looked after, eats properly and enjoys herself as much as she can. That’s the most important thing you can do. It is worrying I know – I went through the same experience. The best advice is live for today.
