Re: mal practice
No, I would respectfully disagree; the course of lung cancer lethality can be difficult to predict under the best of circumstances and even with the most competent doctors.
The legal issue regarding this situation largely reduces to whether the care and treatment which your husband received for his particular disease/medical condition more or less met the standard of care prevailing in that particular community at the time he received it.
And I would have to surmise that in all probability it did.
