My brother is 46 years old and he started smoking when he was 10 years old. This last week he fainted and fell down a flight of stairs and is now in a coma in which he has been for a few days now. The doctor says he has had cancer for a while now. I was wondering what the chances are that he will pull out of this...?

Lung cancer is not always deadly. My grandpa started smoking about that same time, and he had lung cancer in one lung, so they removed the lung that had the cancer in it, and he was fine. He probably lived about 10 years after that. If your brother has lung cancer in one lung, there is hope. I'm not saying removing the lung will cure him, but I know it can be done. My grandpa was never in a coma though, so like I said, I'm not 100% that it will help your brother. If he has lung cancer in both lungs, then there isn't much hope.
