My grandma was diagnosed yesterday with stage 3 lung cancer. The dr. told me its in her left lung and a lymph node in the center of her chest. They are doing an MRI next week but we are fairly sure it is in her brain as well. A scan a while back showed a small tumor there as well. If it has spread she will be stage 4. They can not do surgery or chemo because of her heart problems. Radiation is our only option but we will find out more after the MRI. My question is for anyone who has gone through this how much time approx. do I have left with her? She lives with me and I love her to death. I just need to know a little of what to expect because I am the strong one of the family and I need to be more prepared to deal with this. I am sorry for writing so much. I am just at a loss and I dont know who else to ask. Thanks everyone
