My husband has had copd for 4 years and now has lung cancer and also has traveled to the lymph node, what prognosis will he have with no treatment?

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
Ma’am I hate to say this but Lung cancer is quite bad esp in the stage you are describing. With COPD its worse primarily because an already compromised lung cant compensate for cancer and treatment related further lung damage.
I’m sorry, it’s not good.
with treatment, he has a fighting chance.. without, the prognosis would be very grim
Not sure what his reason is for not wanting treatment, however if he just choses not to do chemo or radiation…the standard rx given by docs…..please explore alternative treatments. There are many. Doctors arent’ trained or paid to advise of them. Are they proven? No. Do they work? Yes, sometimes, just like traditional.
Not proven because there is no Pharmaceutical company paying for a "study". Also consider diet. The macrobiotic diet has been helpful to many with cancer. He must have a will to live and beleive he’ll surive. He must be an advocate for himself and research all his options!!!! See sources below and make an educated , prayerful decision! Ozone therapy, nutrion….etc!
