I'm really curious to know which lung tends to get affected by lung cancer more frequently, the right one or the left one? I'm just wondering in terms of overall cases. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

View allIf a cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon, is it still treatable? For someone with CHF, would chemo or other treatments be an option? What's the survival rate in cases like this? If it's advanced, can chemo or surgery actually help, or is it too risky given the CHF? I need a straightforward answer about what to expect in this situation.
When cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon (a metastatic situation), it is still treatable, but the outlook is generally less favorable than if the cancer were localized. Chemotherapy and other treatments may still be options, even for someone with CHF, but the decision-making process must be individualized based on the specific cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health, including the severity of their CHF. Survival rates vary depending on the cancer type, treatment response, and individual factors, with some patients living several years despite metastasis.

Can lung cancer be cured?
A key to surviving lung cancer is catching it in its earliest stages, when it is most treatable. Early tumours has a cure rate of 85-90% but again depends on other factors also.

My whole family has been dealing with a viral cold and flu. Now my mom's got it too, and she's dealing with a blocked nose and body aches. Her PET scan is scheduled for tomorrow to check if the lung tumor and nodules are active. Is it a good idea to take her for the scan while she's feeling like this, or should we think about rescheduling?
they can undergo pet scan
