Dad passed away from the disease this morning. May he Rest In Peace.😔

My wife (46), has stage 4 kidney cancer. The Doctors, team, removed her left kidney, spleen, and 40% pancreas. Three months later cancer has spread to her lungs. Visiting Oncologist December 31/18 to view the plan. She is scared, sad, angry all in one. She runs 5 miles day, does weights, weighs 120lbs never smoked in her life. She did everything by the book. God Bless my wife.

Diagnosed with Stage 4 NSCLC in October 2019 … started Alecensa and still here today. Clear CTs. To the Glory of God all Mighty.

My mum lasted 4weeks after being diagnosed with lung cancer. It was the biggest shock ever. 5 yrs in and it seems like it was yesterday coming out of that consultants room after my mums diagnosis. Nobody spoke as we were in shock. My mum never moaned once and prepared her own death, wrote all her loved ones letters. Sadly it wasn’t the cancer that killed her but a blood clot in her lung. RIP mum.

My husband died two years ago of longcancer due to smoking he lived a year after being told he had cancer. He lived life to the max and died with help. I miss him everyday. Peace.

My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and I’m so devastated 😢 it sucks seeing her suffer and I can’t help her

I am reading so much comment and crying for the lost of love one. I was diagnosed this Aug 2022 with Stage 4 lung Cancer. I lost 50lbs in matter of weeks. Had to be wheel in a wheel chair because I was too tired to walk. I was coughing blood and had difficulty breathing. Today I'm walking have energy and was able to go back to work. My Oncologist took too long to start treatment and I did my own research. I came about an article written by a Chinese Oncologist that uses three simple drugs. One was an immune therapy drug, the other was a salt and the third was Ivermectin. My oncologist wants to kick me out from his clinic for self medicate but Ivermectin saved my life. I only did one rounds of chemo but it did more harm to me . I'm alive today because of Ivermectin.

I'm 53 was diagnosed with stage 3b small cell lung cancer about one and a half years ago after chemo and radiation things where looking good then had a pe blood clots in lungs and got phomnia with just about killed me went from 220 lbs to 165 lbs cant get weight back one month ago went to stage four it went to my shoulder small tumor but very painful I put my trust in GOD JESUS said he would not give me more then I can handle he must know me better then I do if my GOD chooses to save be that would be great if not that's ok to I will still praise him to by last breath

For all those here, I wish you peace. I hope you find comfort, hope and contentment. Your not alone.

I quit smoking 24 years ago. I;m 70 now. The pain in my chest gets worse day by day and the pain in my bones is quite bad. I have had all checks done and nothing! But if there's something going on in your own body, it warns you that something bad is going to happen. I have lived a good life and if it is time to go then I will face it head on. Cheers!!

I'm a Survivor of stage 2 Nscclc! I was diagnosed last year this time.i went through 5 treatments of chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation. Yes I was a smoker but quit the day they found the mass on my left lung.im raising my 8 yr old Granddaughter and am Happy and Blessed to be alive today.god bless to all♡

I may not have Lung Cancer, but I am diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma and Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast cancer. At the end of 2016 I had an extremely large tumor in my mediastinum and 2 others in that area along with a large tumor in my sternum which fractured it, and many tumors in my lungs, along with others throughout my nodes and body. The mediastinal tumor was growing into my heart and I had fluid in my lungs and around my heart. I was so unable to breath, and had hospice care. I was mostly sleeping, and was in lot of pain. I couldn't lay down due to the tumor putting pressure on my lungs and basically suffocating me. Before my diagnosis, I remember telling my doctor that I kept waking up feeling like I was suffocating and was unable to breath. I was told that it was just acid re-flux. I was given very little time to live. I could barely have a conversation due to not being able to breath. And my voice was very hoarse, and I was coughing up blood. I also lost lots of weight, had no appetite, (not on chemo or meds, so it was due to cancer itself). And when I did eat, the food would get stuck, and cause pain when going down, due to the pressure from the mediatinal tumor. Being a young (42 at the time), and a single mother, I was very scared, although I knew where I was going when I died. My fear for for the actual act of death, and for my kids. Thank God, I was finally given the correct diagnosis, after being misdiagnosed for almost a year. I was put on chemo at that time, that didnt work. But when given the proper diagnosis, I was put on a brand new imunotherapy combo, that saved my life. It kept me stable for almost 2 yrs. This April new tumors grew in my chest wall, which ended up being my breast cancer again. This time it was stage 4 and mutated to triple negative. I do fear getting this bad again. But I am very thankful for the 2 extra years I was given. Please, those of you who know someone with cancer, whether terminal or not, don't leave them in fear. this is the time they need support the most. Many of my friends thought I was ok, because I had hair, and only went out when I was doing well. But not all treatments cause hairloss, and just becasue someone looks like they are doing well, or is young, does not mean they are. And they still need you.

My mother in law was diagnosed with lung cancer, was given a 6 month prognosis. 6 Months later, she hemorrhaged from her nose and mouth and died. A VERY traumatic experience for all of us as we weren't expecting such a bloody death.

my dad is suffering lung cancer stage 4 and it was just last week that we get to know about his cancer,,he was a heavy smoker and i am sad because i should’ve known the symptoms that he is showing which is everlasting cough.Please pray for my dad cuz he’s now under medical morphin and i really miss him:((

My mom font lung cancer Four 10 years we lost her 5 years ago the last two years was very difficult couldn't breathe couldn't talk we miss her so much thanks to all the doctors who gave us the extra years with her!!

My aunties dying of cancer and I fear she won't live for much longer :'( please in begging u, pray for my auntie im 12 :'(

I was diagnosed with stage 4 June 2018 and was told death was imminent. “ The devil is a lie”. Keytruda, fasting, herbs, diet, running, and prayer has all contributed to me still being here

Doctors seem to ignore symptons of lung cancer and give any reason not to test alot sooner

My wife just died she was 32 years old I woke up on her last day her eyes were halfway open she was not responding to anything I believe she was brain dead from lack of oxygen she died at 3:45 that day she stopped breathing then a couple of Tears fell out of her right eye as I told her I loved her and that she could go keep in mind we're only 32 years old

My husband died from pulmonary fibrosis, where the lungs form scar tissue and eventually they cannot get oxygen. We had hospice nurses come to the home and I don’t know what I would have done without them as I was absolutely panicked. They had to keep him sedated towards the end as he could not get enough oxygen and the body goes into panic mode. He wasn’t sedated to the point that he couldn’t communicate and he spent his last morning with one of my daughters reading the Bible to him, which he enjoyed. God’s kingdom will put an end to this suffering and death, Revelation 21: 3 & 4.

My mom never smoked in her life she worked as a painter she got diagnosed with it yesterday idk what to do im praying to god she gets through this cause i don't want to go through life alone shes everything to me

My mom had Lynch syndrome. Her cancer went to her bones. At the time of her death there was no sign of lung cancer. But her body was so tired. I’m grateful that she didn’t suffer with oxygen and things like that; but she kept getting fluid and it wasn’t stopped. :-( she spent her last 6 days under hospice, and she loved us so much she fought till the very end.

My grandpa died of lung cancer he was the coolest person I knew luckily I got to see him and tell him I love him about half an hour before he died but after learning he had passed it was the single worst moment of my life so far

My best friends wife is dying of lung cancer, she has been given 4 to six weeks to live... I'm crying writing this... so sad.

I got stage 4 lung cancer, 3 in my left lung 1 in my upper left arm bone and 1 in my left hip bone I am 47 years old, my cancer has the hereditary mutation , trying to find info on youtube is no good as it looks more hopeless so ignore these videos and kust believe in god and have faith be active do not let it beat you. Much love to you all that are fighting this disease! ❤

I'm 72yo, a male, living in Australia. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma in early August and have had four rounds of chemo, out of a scheduled 6. This week I learned that my spleen has re-enlarged and that the current treatment is no longer effective. Also, new lesions have showed up in a CT (CAT) scan from two days ago, but I am staring down yet another challenging road.

My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer when he broke his upper arm getting up out of a chair. His undiagnosed lung cancer had migrated to his arm bone. He chose no treatment and lived 4 more months.

Please pray for my sister, She's in stage 4 lung cancer ❤

My father died last night to small cell lung cancer, the last 3-4 days were bad as he was experiencing lot of pain. During the last week of his life he started to spit out ''slime'' from his lungs and the last day he was being given morphine which did not help him as the pain got trough. He fall a sleep for few seconds but woke back up saying that his sides hurts. When night came he started to talk a lot even trough his sleep and he asked me to get him into better position, last words he said were ''Now i feel good, it does not hurt anymore'' and his breathing turned into gasping... And as i hold his hands his breathing stopped and fluids started dripping from his mouth and he died. The death came so suddenly that i was not prepared for it because 2 days before his death i took him outside and he was having good time...

Don't beat yourself up about smoking. Most people start when they are too young to think about the future past tomorrow. Then they become addicted and it is very very hard to stop. You don't deserve to suffer. Take things one day at a time. I hope you get to feeling better. Hugs.

Keep in mind the longer after this video was posted, the more advanced the treatments become. I have stage 4 ROS1+ lung cancer that has metastasized to the brain and it’s all being successfully treated with medication 💊 👌🙌🙏. Make sure to get genetic testing done and if your oncologist has not sent for this panel of testing to be done … get another oncologist!!! 👍

I just found out today that a good old friend of mine has stage 4 lung cancer. 3 days ago she called me and asked me to not drop by because she wasn't feeling good. The next day I visited her in the hospital after she called me. She thought she had pneumonia. Today I was told to get the family together. That she doesn't have much time. 3 days ago she was driving and today she doesn't know who's in the room with her because of the drugs I guess. Crazy life we live

If you have lung cancer. Best thing to do is to force ur body to exercise. If u can keep up an exercise routine then ur good. But there will be pain. But with the exercise u can ease the pain

Hi Chris... I'm sorry to say she passed away after a long and hard battle. No more pain, she's at peace. Thank you for asking.

I have stage 3 lung cancer thank God i am able to dom everything my self!

Thank you for this video my dad is in stage 4 lung cancer and this was very helpful information

This stinking, disgusting disease took my dad in 2014, it was horrible, and I miss him so much 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😔😔😔😔

My sister passed today, a year after her diagnosis. She was not a smoker. We were told it was genetic. I’m gonna miss that girl so much. Please quit smoking. Don’t ignore any persistent pain or issues with your body. Talk to your doctor and have annual physical.

Thank you for your candor .

I've smoked for over 30 years, and find quitting very hard. I average around 10 cigarettes a day. I've tried 5 times now. It's like being an alcoholic. Once you quit, the craving remains, in some folk forever more. In the US they seem to measure the probabilty of getting LC in 'pack years' Smoking the equivalent of a pack a day for 30 years, increases ones chances of getting LC quite dramatically. Your body changes after the age of fifty and becomes less able to compensate for the damaging effects of your lifestyle and habits, thus your chances of developing any type of cancer increase after 50 anyway. There are obvious exceptions to any rule, though. A work colleague died of LC at 39. He was a smoker, but apparently his mother died of LC at 50, and had never smoked. My step dads first wife also died of LC at 39, and smoked less than 10 a day, and of course everyone has a story of some great aunt who lived to 102, smoked 40 a day, drank two bottles of whiskey a week, and lived on bacon. Life is something of a lottery.

I lost my Uncle due to Stage IV Lung Cancer August 23rd, 2011. I quit smoking June 13th, 2012 at the age of 20 years old after 5 years of smoking a pack a day.

Two of my mum's siblings, who live in England were diagnosed with cancer just over a month ago; my uncle with a tumour on his liver & my aunt in her 70's, with COPD now has lung cancer. One of my mum's other sisters just told my mum today that my aunt's heart was too weak for her to get chemo & at one point she complained of sharp pain in her heart/chest. They've given her penicillin for an infection, but we feel it's just a placebo & won't make much difference. They think she could pass any time now; & that it'll probably be before my mum can get over in time to see her (from Northern Ireland to England). My mum (aka: my #1 carer) has to make preparations for me to be cared for, as I'm physically disabled & also too ill to be left alone; unless it's a brief trip to the nearest shop & back, once I'm settled. She can't really afford to go any sooner than the date she planned to leave, as we barely scrape by with benefits. That's why my heart is just breaking for my mum right now... ✨💔✨

You don't only get lung cancer from smoking

Thank you Doctor Fink.

My mom is stage 4 and hospitalized with covid and pneumonia. She pulled through so far and almost went home but now her oxygen had to be increased and her heart rate is too fast. They keep telling her she will go home but she’s not improving. It’s been almost a month she’s been in the hospital. She’s only 63.

This video is out of date, there are new amazing immunotherapy treatments out there for lung cancer...

I'm glad you quit - my neighbor just lost her daughter, age 36, yesterday, from lung cancer -

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing The last signs of lung cancer before death include being unable to perform simple tasks independently, having difficulty breathing and experiencing intense chest pain

Please people don't ever start smoking it'll get you in the end.

Fortunately for us, when our beloved mother died of old age, (95) she was able to pass, peacefully at home. With family keeping her safe, comfortable and calm. After being refused any help from Medicaid, we were able to turn their stupid, exclusionary rules into a blessing for our family. Which speaks well of us, not THEM. We closed ranks and bonded as a loving unit, so mother would never have to be in a hospital, on 'life support' or drugged through her final days. I am however, appalled by the health insurance industry as a whole. Its capricious, heartless decision making regarding 'who qualifies for reimbursed care and who doesn't'. Luckily after one or two tussles we told Medicaid to go stuff it. For cancer patients though, the road is even rockier. There must be a rethink, a total revamp of health care in this country. It infuriates me that people with life threatening illnesses must often be forced to jump through hoops to get any coverage at all. Disgusting.

My stepmum passed away from lung cancer and bowel cancer on December 30th 2017 she was only 76 years old and the whole family miss her so much and we say to her good morning and good night and we speck to her as well

i quit 21st November 2011 and it's the best thing ive ever done

May the Lord jesus be with you and you family

"Performance status 5 would mean your death has occurred." Does anyone else find that funny?

Cancer is a big problem. So many inflicted. No one knows why it happens. I think the c cells don't know when to quit. Got to be a way to convince them their job is finished. Maybe an internal injury or poison is triggering c cells non stop.

My brother has stage 4 lung cancer it matastsise to his brain on chemo pills very dizzy had surgery to remove the cancer in his brain and had a seizure 4 days later he recovered now back in the hospital for dizzyness l don't know what to say god bless all🙏🙏

Thanks for posting this video , I'm a smoker since I was 16 and now I'm 29 and after I watch this video I decided to quit

I gave up a year and a half ago. It was video's on yt that really helped me get through it.

God bless you doctors! Such depressing and heartbreaking work. Thank you for your dedication. Father, forgive them; they know not what they do...

Im NEVER gonna smoke! It's gross thats all it is

I smoked until I was 43. I am now in the final days of my life, as I suffer with lung cancer. I felt that I deserved to suffer, since I did this to myself voluntarily. Last night, I vomited solid stream of brown gunk that had nothing to do with what I had eaten that day. I don't even ever feel like eating. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

My mam got took in to hospital 2 years ago with major stoke day 3 stage 4 lung cancer right out the blue she put up an 18 month fight bye God did she a miss my ma today Easter Sunday xx

@Harutmakina I'm so glad for you. My grandfather died in September of this disease after being diagnosed in April. I've seen up close and personal what it does to the human body and the suffering that accompanies it. It is not something I want anyone else to go through--whether as a patient or as a family member. It is a cruel, evil disease, and education is the best cure. I hope you are successful in your quest to stay off cigarettes and drugs.

We are ALL going to die of SOMETHING and nobody is going to be ready when that time comes. Live and be happy♥️

Lost my Dad at age 44 to a massive stroke Not a smoker or Drinker. I was just about getting over this then my Mum who was a nurse RGN/RMN complained of pain in her back Over the weeks she categorically refused to go the DR, After a few weeks we told her is she did not go we would get the Dr to come out. Mum eventually went to the Dr and it was diagnosed as terminal cancer Mum was diagnosed in October and passed the following April. at age 56 I sat and watch this horrible disgusting evil disease take a strong healthy woman down to a bag of bones I miss her every day and what makes it harder is my Birthday is on the same day as my Mums I guess I do more grieving than celebrating which is difficult for friends to understand.

"performance status 5 would imply that your death has occurred" .. can I get a second opinion doc?

I'm sorry to hear that. How long did she fight for? I bet she fought valiantly, and with pride. I'm sorry to hear and sorry for your friends loss. My grandmother is fighting lung cancer now too. Very sad..

From my mom’s diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer to her death was 5 days. She had a chest x ray a year ago and no cancer. When she passed she had a three finger sized growth in one lung and it had metastasized throughout her body. She was 85 and a 60+ year smoker. She was blind the last 10 years of her life due to macular degeneration due to her smoking.

Guys this video uploaded at 2009 and now there have better ways of cancer treatment and chance of surviving is getting bigger immunotherapy is one of best treatment for advanced stages and without horrible side effects

Oh my that's terrible. How old was Georgina? when did she pass? I will say a little prayer for her tonight, I'm sure she's watching down on all three of you :) Thanks for the support. My grandmother has had a long life, and she wants to go. She has been in and out f the hospital for a year. She will fight for my grandfather though, since he is ten years younger than her, he still has a long time ahead of him. She started with the radiation last week. Pray for her please.

it's time for hospice. it's unfortunate that a battle from my history ruined relations with family. I live in my car. online friends aren't really friends. no one is going to come into it and say let me help you with the end of your life. I trust the Lord. the pain in excruciating from SC lung cancer. I've accepted this is the truth. peace. I wanted to make sure anyone who might want to know who reads my comments will be informed.

My mom has stage4 lung cancer pls pls pray for her😭🙏

Most of us have cancer in small doses that the body manages or actively fights against by immune system. Its only when it becomes uncontrollable does it become visible or more noticable to which it is harder to treat if at all.

I've died once already after my colon ruptured from Ulcerative Colitis, and colon cancer (they found the cancer after cutting me open to save my life). I'm 48, since I was 20, I've had over 3 dozen brutal surgeries, leaving me with only 5% of my entire GI tract left. I've died nearly twice more during surgery as my kidneys failed.....yet I'm still alive despite being given only a 10% chance.......and yes, I smoke, I have since I was 14, but luckily, I have zero repository problems. I'm well aware of the dangers, but given that I don't drink, do any street drugs, and my life has been turned up side down...well, frankly, smoking is the only thing I get to truly enjoy. I can barely eat anything, so I can't go out to eat, but when I smoke, it relaxes me and comforts me. So despite the risk, I'm sticking with my smoking. I do exercise a lot, perhaps that's why my lungs are perfectly strong, and I have never had a smokers cough.....but my life has been a disaster, so despite what smoking can do, I'll be damned if I'm forced to stop the one thing left in my life which I truly enjoy, and I don't think anybody understands that, they just tell me I'm crazy. Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, pls don't comment with negativity.

Georgina was only 39 years old and she died about 4 months ago. I hope she is watching over her little girl and husband Mark left behind. It's going to be hard for them but in time they'll cope. I will pray for your Grandmother, God bless...

Husband had pancoast tumor staged 3, down to 116 lb.s (he is 6'2") when it was found. All Dr's expected him to die. He had radiation, chemo and an right upper lobectomy and more chemo. Hes still here and still smoking, that was 11 years ago. Theres always hope. Good, positive attitude helps. My grandmother had lung cancer, had her right lung removed and lived another 20-30 years smoking 3 packs a day. You never know when its your time.

Polution is in the air everywhere. Artificial materials in almost any product. Synthetic food. We are exposed to getting cancer all the time and it frightens me. My mother died of it.

I am 34 quitting when these last 11 r gone watching vids to hng from lung cancer 68 only my mom died of heart disease at 59 days b4 she turned 60.... if u smoke quit remember QUITTING IS HARD, NOT QUITTING IS HARDER ;)

May grandmother passed away i am very disapoinnted she is not in this world now But i will always remember in his soul! Rest in peace

Thank you for repliying no only very very strong will power but she was a heavy smoker and loved a drink untill this happened loved to dance .

This may sound counter-intuitive, but sometimes patients treated for cancer experience much more agony and suffering than those who are not. All the horrors of cancer: hair loss, nausea etc are side effects of treatments for cancer: chemotherapy and radiation. Not by cancer itself. If, for example, a patient has and incurable cancer that would kill him/her at stage one is treated, this patient will have to go through pain of more advanced stages of cancer + side effects of chemo and radiation.

Well she (Georgina)first got breast cancer three years ago and got treatment and got the all clear. Then 8 months ago she then got lung cancer and was told there was nothing they could do. She fought hard to stay alive as they have a three 3 year baby girl, very sad indeed. I'm heartbroken and distraught over what happened. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother Chris, I wish her all the best and I hope she wins the fight. It ain't easy.

Thank you

i watched my nana pass gasping and then she just stopped , her lungs emptied , and her body went thru the motions of trying to take a breath but couldnt , then she was just gone , she had emphysema and lung cancer in 1 lung , she was diagnosed 2 weeks before she passed with the cancer , told it had spread to her liver 8 days later then 4 days later ... gone , that was 22 yrs ago , but still feels like just the other night, im not letting my kids see me pass if i can help it , its just too haunting

I feel I may have it from years of smoking and work around concrete dust in high volumes... Yet no health coverage....

CANT BELIEVE I SMOKED

My wife was diagnosed last week !!!!

Ive quited 7 days ago. Also the question is Battle with quitting smoking, or Battle Lungcancer or very many other diseases you can get from smoking. The decision is not hard to me. I rather sometimes having a craving then i continue wasting money smell bad being a slave and ruining my body. Smoking doesnt ever have solved any problems so fuck it. And even the cravings will fade out really its far better to quit.

Smoking is sickening! I had stage 1b Adenocarcinoma and now I am sick again and am worried that the cancer is in the other lung!

My urine has turned orange. My kidneys are shutting down. I smoked five cigarettes a day, ten on the weekend. I can't undo it, can just tell others what NOt to do!

Grandma got stage four and still has her hair and looking good just gotta keep faith and uplift them and watch they their diet

My mother did die from this 2 days ago, 8 days in the hospital on morphine etc, it was horrible to watch and hear her gasping for air, I am sure she was in a lot of pain even she could not communicate. Total nightmare.

Did you say MORPHINE? I'll take 3 gallons to go. My friend smokes a lot almost chain smokes and he has stated that at 72 that if he quits today he will die with in the month. He has had a ok life and he says he is ready to take the journey.

I never smoked a day in my life and I have small cell lung cancer.

Interesting

@LetsCook2gether they have kits for that. There's a smokers cleanse by cleanse-smart. But for a non-smoker, just get fresh air, healthy diet, proper exercise. Those are the best things you can do for your lungs :) Hope that helps!

My mother loved about 2 months after diagnoses with small cell. She died 3 years ago. I have just been diagnosed with it. I think it’s more hereditary than it’s known.

My Dad never smoked a day in his life and is in hospice lung cancer....

Good

Why are more young people being diagnosed with lung cancer?
