∙ 14y agoIn most cases this would be anything from 2 months to 3 years.
One can in many cases prolong life expectancy with drugs slowing down the cancer.
Problem is often severe side-effects from that sort of medicine, and it might be a choice of pain relief (morphine in many cases) and a pretty decent quality of life for maybe up to a year, or cancer slowing medicine that prolongs life but at the cost of many non wanted side-effects that severly lowers quality of life.
Terminal does not mean instant death. It only tells you that the particular type of cancer or disease is not responding well to treatment and there are no other viable options for treatment.
Doctors that specialize in cancer medicine and treatment know more and could advice further.

Is lung cancer a terminal cancer?
It means that it won't get better, it will only get worse. You either have to get a lung transplant, or die. NO! Lung transplant is NOT a treatment for lung cancer. "Terminal" means "causing, ending in, or approaching death" according to the American Heritage Dictionary. To have terminal lung cancer means that the cancer will not go into long-term remission - remission is when the cancer "goes to sleep." It will continue to grow and reside within the host's body until it eventually takes their life. It is extremely important, though, to keep hope alive within this person so that they don't succumb to their illness before they are absolutely required to pass. There are things that can be done to extend their life, but very unfortunately, terminal cancer of any kind means that it will end in death. I am so sorry. ...My mother died of this not too long ago, so you can always message me if you're going through it and need someone to talk to.
