Can you live through liver and/or lung cancer


Can you live through liver and/or lung cancer?
I just found out yesterday that my very much loved grandmother has been diagnosed with liver and lung cancer. I know you can live through lung cancer, what about liver cancer?

Anybody can live trhough any type of cancer....especially if it is cought early.
2 :
You can if caught early. Not trying to be a downer here, but usually if the cancer is in 2 organs, it has metastasized from one to the other. In this case it was probably lung cancer that went to her liver. This makes it much harder to treat. Hang in there though. Anything can happen

It really depends on the type of cancer (is it an aggressive cancer or has it metastasised from another organ) as to her long term prognosis. It also depends on how early it has been caught too. My heart goes out to you and your Grandmother.
4 :
Was your grandmother a smoker? Often in lung cancer cases, it starts off in the lung, and over time it spreads, it usually spreads to the liver first, this is a sign the cancer is at a later stage which cant be good, but anything can happen, she could live another 20 years. I know your really desprete for answers at this point, it hurts... My uncle died of cancer. You will just have to wait and see, a great cancer doctor once said "human beings don't have expiration dates" so hang in there.
