We just would like some general time frame. It is my father in law and he refuses any type of treatment. Thanks so much for your help
Hi, Stage III lung cancer can also be subdivided according to TNM classification. Your father is diabetic and having some blood disorder. I do not know what type of blood disorder it is even then he can be treated with chemotherapy and radiation and if surgery is possible he may have 3 year survival up to 80%. If his medical condition does not suit such radical treatment oral chemotherapy can also be tried. Consult with your oncologist. Take care.
