That is something i will look into after I talk to the oncology doctor. If I can reach him. I usually have to talk to the nurse. I have no idea if he is close to the end time yet, but it would not hurt to ask. He gets angry that he is in this position and he gets so frustrated. I don't blame him. I feel so sorry that he or anyone has to go through this battle. the difference with Joe, he does not want to do the things they tell him he could to do ease his suffering. He says he wants to live so I am afraid if I bring up hospice care, he would really be upset. I dont see him getting anyworse but I see no improvement, either.
but that is definitely something that I will look into. Perhaps I will ask some questions without him knowing.
this cancer stuff is such a horrible situation to anyone to be in.

If his doctor will discuss it with you, that’s a good idea. Perhaps they could explain Hospice options to him. I’m not familiar with Stage IV lung cancer. Perhaps those who are will chime in here. Best wishes in your journey ahead.
