That depends on the type of cancer and how willing your grandma is to fight it.

It depends on the type , extent of spread, and treatment. You don't mention if she is having and chemo or not. If they are not going to do any treatment & it has spread, prognosis for lung cancer is 3- 6 months. Some lung cancers (local with treatment, chemo, etc.) can be cured.Others can have a remission of a few years, then the cancer returns. You really can't tell so I'd recommend speaking to her MD to find out the details. If they are not going to do any treatment, please ask for a referral to hospice for they can be a great help to your grandmother & members of the family. God bless.
