Hi I am not sure what stage she may be in, but I think you need to prepare yourself for the possibility that she may not be here very long. Even if she goes through the chemo, she is an elderly person and chances are her body will not hold up. My dad died of lung cancer and the best advice I can give you is to make the most of the time she has left with you. If you want to read up on it: http://www.medicinenet.com/lung_cancer/article.htm

Treatment Treatment for lung cancer depends on the type of cancer (small cell or non-small cell); the size, location, and extent of the tumor; and the general health of the patient. There are several different kinds of treatment, which may be used alone or in combination: Surgery to remove the tumor is the most common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Removal of a small section of the lung containing the tumor is called wedge resection. When an entire lobe is removed (your right lung has three lobes and your left lung has two), the procedure is called a lobectomy. This is the most common type of lung cancer surgery. Pneumonectomy is the removal of an entire lung. http://www.stjohn.org/HealthInfoLib/swArticle.aspx?2,624 I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR GRANDMA.
