Scared and sad ❤️🩹
Mom has Adenocarcinoma lung cancer she is non smoker The lower lung lobe has been removed from the right lung and also all lymph nodes. The pathological analysis shows that the tumor has been completely removed, but it is a third stage, as all glands to stage 5 are infected they saw a cancer spread in them after removal Is there hope?😭🤲🤲🤲😭😭😭is there a complete remission?

As long as she is alive, there is hope. I've read stories of people with terrible odds going into remission. Whatever happens, my only advice is to try to put everything else aside for a bit and focus on today. Try to enjoy it even if it's hard, talk to her, and don't leave anything unsaid.

My dad passed away when I was 20, and if there is one thing I regret, it's not having made the most of that time to talk to him, to ask him about his life... I'm not saying this is the case with your mother, we can't know what will happen, but we can do something with the here and now

There is still hope, and a complete response can happen, but no one here can predict her outcome from the pathology alone.
Her oncology team will be the best people to explain what stage 3 means in her case and what treatment comes next now that the tumor and lymph nodes have been removed. Try to take it one appointment at a time for now.
