Will lung cancer kill my friend?

My friend is 19 years old, and about 2 months ago I found out he had Lung cancer. He has had it for about 4 months now and refuses to take chemo or any other thing to help cure it. im just wondering what are the chances of him dieing and when?

Answer #1

If he chooses not to have the treatment, then he will surely die…the cancer will continue to spread until it kills him.

Unfortunately, we can’t predict when that will happen…only the doctor can do that based on the progression of the cancer.
