What's the average age for lung cancer?

Mum has lung cancer at age 50... how serious? how can I cope?

  • For a few months my mum was saying she had awful pain in her shoulder and neck. so bad that it was worse than child labour. she went to the hospital thinking it was a muscle problem where they found a shadow on her lung and a large lump in her neck. they then found further lumps on her lung, carried out two biopsies and scans then diagnosed her with lung cancer. they've offered her radiotherapy and chemotherapy in january and said without it she'd have weeks to live. im only 19 and this is the first ill family member i have EVER dealt with, im also at university far from home so i cant even be there for her or my brothers or sister. im also wondering how serious this is as my mum puts on a brave face all the time and keeps some things to herself to protect the family..

  • Answer:

    To be honest it doesn't look good and the chemo will not cure her but it may give her a few weeks longer. My dad had lung cancer and had part of lung removed and survived but 3 years later he got stomach cancer and we were told 6-12 months but he died 6 weeks later. There is nothing we can advise you to do but be there for your mum and when she gets really ill she will say a lot of hurtful things to you and the family but she will not mean what she is saying because it will affect her brain cells and it might be that she doesn't even know who you are, my prayers are with you, Good Luck

look in your computer for the gerson institute. radiation and chemo are useless. the gerson institute cures people naturally. with chemo she do sent have much of a chance. with the gerson therapy she has a good chance. look it up now and get started, the sooner the better. don't bother asking her Dr about it, Dr's are idiots who believe what the drug company's tell them, and kill millions a year with drugs chemo and surgery. they have a 20% success rate, gerson has a 995 success rate.

my mum got breast cancer a few years ago when i was 12 she was only 45 in terms of how serious i think it depends on how early she descoved it so it doesnt spread to other areas of the body i no how it feels if i were you id take time of uni to be with her family is more important she might put on a brave face but she will be very scared. i dont think people can cope i dident cope just be calm and do what you think you should do but im only 15 so i dont no if im right

people die due to the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy.my husband was given the same prognosis,we decided to go ahead with the treatment and it killed him.it will destroy your immune system and the ability to make red blood cells when you need it the most.your mother should look up the cure rate of radio chemotherapy for lung cancer and ask her oncologist for more truth full information on it's side effects on the liver and kidneys too.

My condolences to your family in this tragic time! I too just went through the passing of a family member and it was quite difficult for us. Dependent on how advanced the cancer is the more fatal it will be. But realize this, the treatment for cancer has evolved significantly over the years. Have faith in the medical team treating your mother. Good luck!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTGye7kA6rM Get your mom to watch this video and try to get a healthy diet similar to what you find on healthisnatural.com. Many people have been cured on nutrition alone. Tell her to get a juicer and juice fresh greens and vegetables. This predigests food and give more pure nutrition so her body can fight it. Cut all sugar and cut carbs. Eat antiinflammatory herbs, garlic, tumeric, fennel, cinnamin, cayenne pepper. Take vit D supplemants. Of course, don't smoke. You should get involved with some time of spiritual program, such as a church, or 12 step program to keep your mind healthy and have good social contacts you can share your thoughts. Stay off the drugs and alcohol Here is new nutrition released. I think the most advanced in the world. If I was majorly sick I would certainly buy this. They havebrought back people with very low chance. http://www.bioage.com/Biosuperfood-BSF/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXz6H3ZymhU
