Depends. If it's been detected early than you have a very good chance of surviving and leading a normal healthy life afterwards. If it's detected late, it depends on how far it's progressed.

Not always, sometimes, you just lose a lung. Usually lose your vocal chords....and often have a permanent tracheostomy in the front of your neck. People can live for years like this, but it isn't much fun.

It depends on how soon they catch it and what stage it is. Its a tough disease to fight though.

Not always. Caught early, it is curable.
