Answer by Nah Z
It depends on a lot of factors including his pre-existing health, age, what other organs the cancer has gone to, etc.

In general, the vast majority of people with metastatic lung cancers will die within a year of diagnosis, with most dying within half a year. These are just averages, of course: some will die during the month they’re diagnosed, and a very small percent might live two years with aggressive treatment.

If this person matters to you, you should definitely prepare for the fact that they will not be around for a very long time.
