Lung Cancer Lung Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Coping Treatment From Lynne Eldridge MD, your Guide to Lung Cancer This is a newsletter I don't like to write.  I prefer to talk about treatments, or ways to make living with lung cancer as easy as possible.  But many people wish to know what can be expected if those treatments don't provide the outcome we'd hoped for. Best wishes and blessings for another week, Dr. Lynne  What to Expect During the Final Stages of Lung Cancer We don't like to talk about the later stages of lung cancer.  We wish everyone could be cured.  But, if you are like me, you may want to feel a little more prepared (though you can't really prepare) -- as I did when my father was facing the final stages of cancer.  What might you expect?  Search Related Topics:  late stage lung cancer  dying  hospice When Should You Stop Cancer Treatment?
