My Son Is 56 Yrs Old & Has Blood Clots

My son is 56 yrs old & has blood clots in his his legs & recently diagnosed with stage 3 non small cell lung cancer, inoperable. He was having a hard time breathing & put on 24 hr oxygen today. He will start radiation & chemo this week. What are his chances of beating this? I must tell you he lost his identical twin brother to pancreatic cancer, stage 4, a year ago & I am now going thru chemo after removal of my pancreas because of cancer.
