How long can you live if you give up treatment for lung cancer

The survival time of lung cancer patients depends mainly on the extent of lung cancer spread, the patient's general condition, the response to treatment and the effectiveness of the treatment plan. The condition of patients in the late stage is more serious. Some doctors estimate the survival time of patients to be several months. This often refers to the worst-case scenario of "several months" when the treatment is ineffective or the patient gives up treatment.

The prognosis of lung cancer depends on early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. If it is discovered in the late stage, the situation is very bleak. If it is discovered in the early stage, the medical method uses a 5-year survival rate to estimate the survival time. Eighty-six percent of patients die within five years after diagnosis. Therefore, the survival time of advanced lung cancer will not exceed five years, and lung cancer is prone to metastasis. It metastasizes to other parts, tissues, and organs, and requires surgical resection, which is also extremely painful. There is no folk prescription to cure lung cancer. Clinically, it can only be relieved by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, which cannot be used to cure it. Since the process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy will make the patient very painful, some Chinese medicine can be combined for treatment to reduce the body's response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and relieve pain. There are no special requirements for diet, and you can eat the same as normal.

The stage and resistance of each advanced lung cancer patient are very different. Coupled with the impact of treatment, it is difficult to say how long all advanced patients can live. As family members, we should first consider the patient, and think about how to save the patient, prolong the patient's life, and how to make the patient less painful.

How to prolong the survival of patients with advanced lung cancer

1. Improve physical fitness: Exercise appropriately, supplement nutrition, pay attention to a regular life, let your physical condition keep up with the treatment, and resist further engulfment by cancer cells.

2. Pay attention to diet and health: eat more nutritious, easily absorbed and digestible foods, eat a light diet, eat small meals frequently, eat more fresh vegetables, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, greasy and irritating foods.

3. Good attitude: Think more about positive and optimistic people and things, and maintain a good attitude.

4. Choose the right treatment method: This is the most critical factor in determining survival. The physical fitness of patients in the advanced stage is generally poor, and many patients are unable to withstand the toxic side effects caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The treatment method should be chosen with caution. Do not treat for the sake of treatment. Appropriateness is the most important thing.
