My husband has stage iv lung cancer and advanced COPD. He just had his first treatment on Dec. 10th. He is getting two different chemo drugs and one immunotherapy drug. He is not feeling well at all Just sleeps a lot and hardly is eating. Has nausea. This will be a long road for both of us and you and your husband. Hopefully your husband will try and eat and do what is recommended. My husband will not do any of the things that the doctors would help him in feeling better. Did your husband get his first treatment yet? How is he feeling? How are you doing?
@surviver, I'd like to add my welcome. May I ask what type of lung cancer you had? How are you doing now?
Hi, My husband had adenocarcinoma. We are waiting for the staging from mayo!
Welcome to Mayo Connect @aluczkow. Did your husband have surgery? Do they know any more about the type yet, non-small cell? Any cancer diagnosis can be tough to deal with, are you holding up ok?
Yes, my husband had a lobectomy three weeks ago and is doing well. I'm just reading and trying to find out as much as I can about the treatment options, what others are going through... We don't know the exact stage or treatment options. yet. We do know that it is mucinous adenocarcinoma. Hoping to find out more by reading and connecting to people who have this type of lung cancer.
