let me clarify... is it guaranteed you'll die from it if left untreated? Im asking because I know someone who is in prison and has lung cancer and it's not being treated.

yes, my grandad had lung cancer and had to have the lung removed, this person in prison should be being treated for this and asap.

Yes. The primary cause of death could be any number of things from suffocation to infection, but ultimatly yes the cancer untreated will kill the person. It is likely not being treated by the person's own choice if they are in the states. It is not legal to deny medical treatment because of incarceration.

You are looking for comfort, I know it is hard to deal with. My grandpa died from lung cancer that was treated. Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer. Very rarely do people with advanced lung cancer survive. Sometimes you hear about people getting transplants or lung removal that saves them, but for most this does not happen. I'm sorry, but it does not sound good. Lung cancer is the worst, and I think you should enjoy your friend while you can. Brutally honest, I'm sorry.

The biggest percentage of people die of lung cancer whether it's treated or not. If he has non small cell squamous type, treatment won't do much and he's probably weighed the amount of time he's got left against the effects and side effects of chemo (which can make you very sick). He may have decided he doesn't want to spend his last days being nauseous and sick if it's not going to change the outcome in the long run.
