It depends on what stage the cancer is, it is not always a death sentence.

18 years old with lung cancer??? People in their teens don't get lung cancer, or in their twenties. It is very rare that people in their thirties get lung cancer. Either you are making this up or your friend is lying to you. EDIT: It takes DECADES for lung cancer to develop from tobacco smoke. The median age at the time of diagnosis is 71 years. It is very very rare to be diagnosed with lung cancer before the age of 45.

This is so rare at such a young age that I doubt accurate statistics are available.

I am so sorry and hope you are both dealing with it as best possible. :( It depends what type it is, my dad had lung cancer, the type was small cell which is the worst, he survived for 9 months after being diognosed, if it is large cell it may have a higher possibility of being cured and if it is terminal then I beleive on average it is a longer time. I hope you are ok if you need someone to talk to feel free I'm happy to do as much as I can since I have already been through my best friend (when we were 5), grandpa and dad, I know its different for everyone but feel free. I am not sure how old you are.. but I am 17 and female I hope your friend if feeling as well as possible

This does not seem to be real Q.It is not possible to have lung Ca.at this early age. However following will help you.--- Lung cancer ranks as one of the deadliest types of cancer, with a five-year survival rate of only 16%. But for those who catch it early, there's a new, less invasive way to help boost those odds. NEW APPROACHES: In video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, or VATS, surgeons use small multiple keyhole incisions to insert a long instrument into the body to do the work doctors hands would do in a lobectomy. The advantages are that patients have less post-operative discomfort because the instrument allows the doctor to avoid spreading the ribs to get to the tumor, and a shorter hospitalization

not possible--even if he smoked from day one. he may have lung disease, and it may be very serious, but it's not lung cancer
