She is in the third stage I think, and it has spread to her lymph nodes and is getting them cut out. She will be getting chemotherapy and getting most of one of her lung's cut out, what chance does she have of surviving?

A lot of the answer to your question depends on the success of the surgery. If the info you have provided is accurate, and the surgery is successful, the survival could be described in years rather than in months. But you really need to talk to the doctor to get a diagnosis. And Absolutely no one can tell how long another person will live, No one.

she might be ok if she does not have any underlying problems such as heart problems, copd, ect. I recently had a family member die from lung cancer from smoking. it was stage 3 b in both lungs and lymph nodes. But due to his heart problems and copd he was not a surgial candidate and heart was too weak from chemo. But if it is not in both lungs and she is in generally good health and does not smoke she has a good chance with treatment
