What are the chances of a sixteen year old boy with lung cancer pulling through


What are the chances of a sixteen year old boy with lung cancer pulling through?
He's been in good health before hand. Worked out and what not. Didn't smoke, did drink for a while. He's my boyfriend. I'm not sure how far along it is. About a month or two ago he was misdiagnosed with pneumonia, and I this week they just figured out what it really was.

i hate to say it but the chance is very slim. but it is possible for him to pull through
2 :
wow, umm if he didn't smoke, how'd he get lung cancer? the lungs are difficult to mess with... I dunno Sorry this is happening to him, just be there for him... he needs you now
3 :
the chances are very good if he did not smoke just avoid to much fruit because sometimes fruit has growth hormones witch is likely the cause of all cancers, he will get through this with your support
4 :
It depened on what stage of cancer he has if he has stage 4 then the chances are slim but if hes only in stage 1 or 2 than you shouldn't worry so much.
5 :
Very good. Most likely a hard road ahead. There are so many new and improved tests and solutions. 16 is very young and youth is on his side.
6 :
There are many kinds of lung cancer - and I'm guessing since he's so young it's possible he doesn't have the typical kinds which are so aggressive and dangerous. That he's young will help him tolerate the medicines and get over the treatments, but he has a rough road ahead of him. He needs a friend right now - that's for sure. Concentrate on that part of your relationship now. I was amazed how many "friends" disappeared when I had cancer.
