Really sorry to hear about your Dad....It depends on the severity of the cancer and the treatments he receives.

All the best !!

There are four types of lung cancer. Prognosis depends on staging of lung cancer.
I am sorry to hear about your dad.

Discuss with your doctors. The following link may be helpful

No way to tell. Some people die within months after diagnosis, some people go into remission for years.

My Mom lived for 18 months after her diagnosis. Be prepared. It is such an ugly death. Until then, I would spend every available moment with your Dad. Talk to him about things he did when he was a kid growing up. Go over all of his memories. Remember them so you can tell your children. Time is the best thing you can do at this time.

I am sorry.
