DGF diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer- life expectancy?

[Beeloux]

Hi all,
DF just rang me to tell me DGF (81) has just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to his kidneys, neck, liver and lymph nodes. 😔Has anyone experienced similar with a loved one and how long did they survive?

DGF and DGM are due their 60 year wedding anniversary next month and they’ve been excited for it all year. His symptoms first started 6 months ago. For the last month he has been in very bad pain with his chest and lost a lot of weight.

Any experience appreciated. Feel so upset from the news 😞

So sorry to hear that OP. DP was diagnosed in the August and died in September. He had had symptoms for 7 or 8 months but refused to go to the doctor. His had spread to his liver and brain so don't know if that made it quicker.

It's so hard. Does he have a supportive GP? DP died at home and we had district nurses coming in every day and then nearer the end a hospice nurse came in at night. It was hard but it made it a bit easier to have support and meant that he could be at home. It was during Covid so that made it even more important for him.
