My uncle is in the fourth stage of lung cancer. He is of the age around 40-45. The doctor has asked him to take chemotherapy and it will be starting from this monday since he has been diagnosed with the disease just yesterday that's on 01/10/2020. He is physically unwell too. Now my question is, how long can he survive or be alive after having chemotherapy? What is the chance of survival?
