The doctor informs Lenny that the cancer in his lung has spread significantly due to his smoking and is too advanced for surgery. While more tests could be done to stop further growth, the damage to Lenny's lung function is already too great. The doctor cannot give a definite time frame but estimates Lenny has between 6 months to 4 years to live, as the cancer's growth has slowed considerably after initially spreading rapidly.

“Is there anything we can do?”
“The cancer has been attached to your lung
for a rather long time, its viciously spread
and covered-“
“Are you telling me there’s nothing we can
do?”
“We can run some more tests, see if theres
a way to stop any further growths. Because
of your smoking habits, we don’t think
youd be able to function correctly with
only one working lung, therefore any form
of operation is out of the question.”
“How long do I have…?”
“The growth of cancer started rapidly but
its slowed down drastically now, the
effects are too sever to reverse, therefore
we have no definite answer, it could be
anywhere from 6 months to 4 years.”
