What Is The Prognosis For A COPD Patient With Ductal Carcinoma?
My mother was recently diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ in her left breast. She s 75 years old. She s had two surgeries and she is now cancer-free, although she has to have surgery on one of three nodes in her lungs because she was diagnosed with lung cancer as well, and she has COPD after so many years of smoking. What are the odds and chances of her survival at this point in time?

hi sir/mam,at the age of 75,undergoing two major surgeries really needs courage which your mother has.as she has lung cancer too,COPD added to that wont do well.i mean to say,her prognosis is not good.only quality of her life and in particular symptomatic relief can be aquired with COPD medications.but continue treatment for COPD.i'm sorry to say that her survival chances are not much.i pray god to reduce your and her agony and suffering.thank you.take care.bye.
