How long do lung cancer patients survive untreated?
I do not have lung cancer, but I’m somewhat curious b/c someone I know may and are waiting for the confirmation.

What the doctor’s do is take the type of cancer and severity of it, and take an average survival rate. Now with my mom, she had the small cell lung cancer. They told her 3-6 months untreated. It was stage 4. So it will depend on the stage of the cancer too. Treated they said up to 18 months. But because they really don’t know, you can’t really go by the prediction. My mom was treated, and she passed away within 4 months.
