Do you know of anyone who was diagnosed with lung cancer and survived long term?

Asked by jca2 (16286points) July 18th, 2019

A family friend was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. He is in his mid-50’s. He has a mass on his lung and they’re doing more tests to determine the stage, etc.

I know that most cancers have a higher rate of survival if they’re caught early. The treatment and the individual all factor in. Googling it, I see the 5 year survival rates are not good.

I’m just curious if anybody on here knows anyone who was diagnosed with lung cancer and survived long term.
