My husband has advanced COPD and metastic lung cancer. He weighs about 106 pounds. It is so hard watching him go through this. He get his first treatment on Wednesday Dec. 11. He has been sleeping most of the time since. I imagine he wonders the same thing. The COPD is progressive and the cancer is stage iv which means terminal. Only a miracle will cure him. The doctors gave him a possible two years with treatment and 6 months without. But what kind of life can he have? He already can't do most things that he did because of the copd, but now with the cancer on top of that, he is really not able to do much other than to sleep and watch TV when he is awake. I pray for him. Will pray for you. I see what you guys are going through, but can't imagine how I would feel. I would probably feel exactly like you. God bless you.

PS. He still smokes.

No point in encouraging him to quit now. It sounds like a done deal. My FIL kept smoking & his whole family nagged him constantly. It wasn't until way after he passed away that my husband said that he regrets nagging him about the smoking. It is what it is, and at this point may be the only thing that he can enjoy at this stage of the game. The voice of experience.
