My mom was diagnosed this past week with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma lung cancer. We do not know if it is small cell or non-small cell. I have been reading like crazy and found most passed from non-small cell within 3-6 months. but is there any change in life expectancy with small cell?? Any and all answers would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi Friend, I am sorry to note that your mom has a bad diagnosis. Life expectancy depends on comorbidities, general state of health and quality/quantity of health received. It is usually difficult to predict life expectancy. However, your mom's doctor will be able to give you a better idea. Now that you know your mom has a terminal disease it is important that you spend quality time with her. Good luck. I do hope you have other family members who can support you and your mom.
