and is it higher risk the older you are?

my mom has it and the cancer cells have got to her brain and it has been two weeks now that she hasn’t been able to talk or function anything!! i like to know how she’s feeling, she stares at the wall and doesn’t respond, very sad!!
please if anyone with expertise knows how the are feeling inside, i like to know?

I know it does something to the cilia. But then, how come there have been people who have smoked their whole life and dont get cancer?

She is not eating or drinking very much at all,and sleeps most of the time.Her cancer has spread to her spine.She has taken 5 treatments.She has been in the hospital for 3 weeks due to dehydration and staph infection in the blood.Would someone that has been through this, please give me some informaion on what to expect as time progresses? I am so afraid because I do not know what to expect next.

I had 3rd stage non small cell lung cancer. I was diagnosed 11/3/04 and basicly followed Dr.Days 10 step plan for the last 2 1/2 years. Is there someone out there who has survived as I have? I am 56 and am in excellent physical condition.

I have looked all over the internet for this information. I know the likelihood of these diseases are increased in smokers, but where can I find the real numbers?

I’d really like to know because my half-uncle smokes and he’s 79, and ……Yeah….

If you can find how much in Utah, you will get the points.

And state your source, plz.

I want to know… my dad is about to go through this…..

Our cousin was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and it had already spread to the brain. She went through radiation but refused chemo. I think she did take some sort of pill for chemo… its hard to say because everyone is so secretive. After the radiation they found no trace of cancer in the brain and the lung cancer was shrinking (3 months ago). Now- the cancer is back in three parts of the brain and she has lumps on her neck and back. She is now going to go with the chemo and she is in a lot of pain. Can someone tell me what is most likely going to happen?
