Sadly, I’m also very experieced with that, both as a Physician and as a Family member of 3 cigarette victims. Please don’t tell Brother, but just from what you told me here, I’d bet he won’t make 3 years, likely less. If one can see a 26mm mass on an X-Ray, it is likely already elsewhere. Elsewhere means less than 5% chance of 5-year survival.
Sadly, this is one of the few tumors in which we have made little treatment progress once a diagnosis is made.
Pray to GOD now, let him believe what he wants, but get yourself ready. My own younger Brother went through that some 7 years back. The first round of chemo usually helps a bit, sometimes quite a bit, but the second can’t. My Brother finally said “Let me Go”, I can’t take more treatment. He made it almost a year from diagnosis.
May GOD Bless y’all both.

Did I read that right about your wife?I slipped last week on the smokes. My wife took her life last Wednesday & I bummed a cigarette then was offered a 1/4 pack, next a fuul pack then a buddy brought me 2 packs.
Between crying & talking to more people then normally & the Ragweed counts I'm hacking some serious long oysters. Really feeling sick right now aint a good thing. I'll try & exit the bad habit when the remaing cigarette are gone.
^ThisI am so sorry. Words are never enough.
Condolences
Prayers and condolences baboon sorry to hear thisThanks y'all, I'm working throught it & getting it done. Made th arrangements yesterday for the funural home to go pick her up from autopsy to taker her to be cremated. Tried finding out about recoverying my pistol. She use my .38 the bulldog chewed on. I thing she was to week to rack the slide on her Glock.
I have a closet full her things & her art room to empty out seat. I'm half thinking a dumpster just not to have to deal with people who would view it as a red light special.
I reall do blame the vax on this. I do not hold it against my wife as I know how sick she has been. She felt she was a burden to me caring fore her. I'll admit I was the best or most understand care give, but never expect to be her's.
Y'all make sure to tell those around you how you love them.
