Do people with cancer have any chance of survival?
A few month ago we discovered that my mom has lung cancer and cancer in her bones, the doctor says that shes in her 4th stage and that she probably had the disease for almost a yr. I just wanted to know if there is any chance of survival cos i dont want to loose her.
Because everyone i hear who has cancer never survives.
Many many people survive cancer. Unfortunately, lung cancer is one of the more difficult types to treat successfully. This is because, as with your mother, the disease has often spread before it is detected. Once cancer spreads, it is almost impossible to eradicate it from the body. It’s more like 10 years that lung cancer has likely been growing, not 1 year.
Try to help her out as much as possible. It will really mean a lot to her, and you will never regret having done everything you can to help her fight her battle against the disease.
There is always that chance of her recovering and I suggest that you hold on to that no matter how small. Spend time with her and show her how much you really care. If you feel that she’s on the verge of giving up, don’t let her. Be sure to encourage her.
