What cell type and stage? Is this a primary cancer?
2 :
Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival outcomes of any cancer because over two-thirds of patients are diagnosed at a late stage when curative treatment is not possible.1 Earlier diagnosis and referral to specialist teams would make a significant difference to survival rates. if it was caught early it can be treated..but if it has been there for a long length of time its not good. i hope she will be ok..i will pray for her. im from ireland too btw.

it can be treated, but is not usually caught early. Hopefully it wont spread to the brain, which it has a high chance of doing, and at that point, it is pretty much a terminal illness. dod your friend smoke, because that a lot of times will cause lung cancer?

my grandpa just died 6 days ago from lung cancer so not a very high possibility of living and my gramps had cancer for 7 months then died
5 :
What type of lung cancer? What stage? What treatment is she undergoing? The fact that she's 17 is good. It means that she has a better chance of surviving than a 90 year old with the same type. But i dk her chances of surviving, I'd need more information. I'm sorry to hear about this though :(

You really would need more information before anyone can give you an answer. If it has not metastasized and a low stage...and if she doesn't have very many complications...she is still very young and with treatment has a better chance than say someone over 50. Without more details no one is going to be able to give you a better guess.
