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!

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.
