He can live a lot longer than you would imagine and even be cured if he seeks the right treatments. Doctors can't tell you how long to live and they don' t know everything. And believe me, they hope you don't either. They have to put their kids through college somehow, right? Curing you doesn't pay the bills, and it's mostly illegal anyway. Please at least check out alternative therapies, and e-mail me if you would like any suggestions. I hope you have many more happy years with your friend.
If you want another perspective, my grandfather died of lung cancer. He had the usual treatments. He lived for about ten years after his diagnosis. Actually he was battling cancer for about sixteen years. It started in his throat. But he never lost his voice and I was always glad about that.

I did six rounds of chemo, which looked as if it would stabilize the tumors altho did not adjust them. Actually in the course of chemo I constructed a couple of extra infants from the major. After 9 months the tumor confirmed development so I went on a different six rounds of chemo, completed in Dec. 08. I have not had a test now in approximately 9 months however look to be steady. I were having affliction once more, so now not definite what that's all approximately correct now, however have an appointment with my onc for a 3 month verify up in August. So sure, we will be able to continue to exist beyond a 12 months with degree iv lung melanoma. I simply had my 3rd 12 months mark this beyond spring. If it wasn't for the affliction (commonly prompted via nerve harm from both chemo or tumor) I additionally would not recognize I have this "terminal" ailment. All the first-class to you in your Avastin, I'll be occurring to Tarceva for my 3rd line.
