Sorry to hear that, hope she pulls through!

Stage 1

This is the earliest stage and so has the best outcome. Depending on where the cancer is, it is often possible to remove stage one lung cancer with surgery. Unfortunately, it is not very common for lung cancer to be diagnosed this early. Stage 1 non small cell lung cancer is divided into 2 stages, stage 1A and 1B.

Of all the people with stage 1A non small cell lung cancer, around 58% to 73% will live for 5 years or more.

Of all the people with stage 1B non small cell lung cancer, around 43% to 58% will live for 5 years or more.

Small cell lung cancer has two stages which is :

1. In the limited stage, the tumor exists in one lung and in nearby lymph nodes.

2. In the extensive stage, the tumor has infected the other lung as well as other organs in the body.

Small cell lung cancer is no good report for your family. Having it means you have aggressive malignant (cancer) units in the tissues of your lung. Except halted, these cancer units will spread and decimate your wholesome units. Lung cancer is the leading origin of death affecting hundreds of thousands of men and women.
