What is the the average life expectancy for a 49 year old male with T2N1M0 small cell lung cancer


What is the the average life expectancy for a 49 year old male with T2N1M0 small cell lung cancer?
He has smoked all his life, but quite as soon as he found out he was sick. He received chemo and radiation, and the doctors said it was gone, but they have found that the tumor is still there, and a lymph node in his neck is involved, too.

A T2 N1 M0 would be a stage 2B. For a man his age with small cell the 5 year survival rate is about 10%.
