At this advanced stage, the body becomes very weak, my child. You can give them warm tulsi tea to soothe their throat, but please understand that only hospital doctors can treat this. God give you strength.

My brother went through stage 4 lung cancer. While a permanent cure is extremely rare, immunotherapy and targeted medicines extended his life comfortably. Get a biomarker test done, as it helps doctors choose the exact medicine needed.

Actually, it is very tough to fully cure stage 4, yaar. But my neighbor's dad is on targeted therapy for it and he is doing okay for the last two years. Just find a really good oncologist.

Staying physically active as much as possible helps with lung capacity and mood, but don't overdo it. Proper nutrition is key to fighting the fatigue from chemo. Always consult the doctor before changing any diet or exercise routine.

We consulted a top cancer institute for our family member. The doctors clearly explained that stage 4 is managed rather than cured. Please ask your oncologist about the realistic prognosis and the best comfort care options.
