What does end stage lung cancer look like?

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate the prayers. Today my husband ate a grilled cheese sandwich. He has been more alert today than yesterday. He still falls asleep fast. I took his cigarettes from him and he is pissed at me. I happend to walk in the living room and he had lit one, fell asleep and it was burning a hole in the afghan he was using. So I give him one when he wants then I stay in the room while he smokes it. He looked at me and said "what are you looking at? Are you waiting for me to die?) I said no, I am watching to make sure you don't fall asleep and burn yourself or the house up. He is not happy with me. Guess I have a long road ahead of me. I liked it better when he was asleep.lol At least he wasn't bitching at me. 🙂

Good Morning. I have been following your threads and just like to add my experience that may help you a little. My first husband died of cancer in 1998. He was stage 4 or 5 when they found it. The doctor told us point blank, “ There is nothing we can do. You need to get your affairs in order.” Told my husband “ you have 3-6 months. In your case… more like 3”. He died about 2 months later. He was getting angry and sometimes down right nasty, but then we figured out it was because he was scared and sad and worried about me and our 3 young children. There was no retirement funds, no real bank account funds. But my big point is, he wasn’t being that way on purpose. The Morphine they gave him for pain also contributed to the moods and sleeping. Just know that he knows your trying to care for him and love him. He may not be able to grasp how he is actually acting out. God is with you both!❤️

Hey Denise, so sorry about your husband and it's not easy I'm sure for you. Want you to know that I will keep you in my prayers. I have bile duct cancer but cannot take chemo pills too many side effects but husband handling ok for now just hoping cancer doesn't come back. I'm letting it up to God if it's his will. Wish I could have a cigarette quit 25 years ago but enjoyed them.
