What does end stage lung cancer look like?

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!

I am so sorry that this is happening to both of you! Do understand that YOU are allowed to get angry as well. This is a time that tries our emotional and physical health! We are not Saints, and we have breaking points. Understanding that this is a hardship for both of you. Pray for patience and courage for you, and comfort for your husband. I lost 20 pounds in the two months caring for my husband and caring for our children and working full time. He was a hot headed Italian who was the “head” of the family. His demands and outbursts really hurt internally, and my kids didn't understand why he was being that way. But we got through it and as he progressed and accepted that he couldn't change it, it calmed a bit. Yes, when he slept it was calm and gave us a chance to decompress. That is the time you need to do something you really like. Watch a show that makes you laugh, phone a friend that makes you laugh. Get a respit nurse so you can get out, even if its just for an hour or two. Dont worry how he treats the Doctors or Nurses, they are used to it. They have seen it all before. My oldest daughter became a hospice nurse because of her father and she is extremely passionate and caring even when the patient is not. God has you in his arms!❤️
