What does end stage lung cancer look like?

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!❤️

Thank you so much for your kind response. I know he is scared but he is getting tired of being sick so he gets angry. He is not only rude me but also with the doctors and nurses who come to help him, The hopsice nurse did come today and she was very nice. She explained everything to us. They will be back tomorrow to do the application. Then they will come twice a week to visit with him to see how things are going. I do my best to be kind, but when he demands and not asks, I get irritated. I do everything he asks me to do, But tonight he said to me, "here are the rules I want you to follow," I told him that I would not follow rules. Advice, yes, but you are not my father and don't treat me like a child. I ended up with bells palsy from the stress and it has only been 4 months. Went to the doctors and she gave me prednisone. I hope it gets better soon. Have a good day!
