What is the chance that radiation alone will cure lung cancer?
Operation is out of the question. Chemo will not work in the two spots it is in. This is not for myself.
If it is non-surgical, chemo and radiation is typically standard, and even that is spotty. Radiation alone practically does not offer a great prognosis, largely because most lung cancers are slow-growing and resistant to chemo/radiation because they are very slow-growing (thus similar to the body’s cells). The best thing to do is just not lose hope, because sometimes that’s all you have. My mom just had adenocarcinoma removed from her colon, and is currently going through chemo. I will keep your loved one in my thoughts and prayers.

50% only cos radiation kills good n bad cells together.

Like any type of treatment its risky, chemo would be the better choice. I don’t wanna kill your hopes, but lung cancer is one of the more serious cancers. It claimed my grandfather, he was a fighter though. Do the radiation, and prayer might help too.

My son-in-law is the chief physicist at a major cancer center and there they have very up to date equipment that can direct radiation to the exact spots so as not to destroy healthy cells as the old types use to do. With radiation plus the medication then perhaps that will give the patient some extra special time…..God Bless

The chances are very very slim. Plus the chances for getting a second case of cancer there or somewhere else increase with radiation treatment.
