@sapooh75633, this must've come as a blow for you and your husband.
Claims about ivermectin have been circulating a lot in the news and on social media for the past few years now. Always check the source of information your find and make sure it is coming from a trusted, evidence-based medical source. Ivermectin is not a proven standard treatment for cancer.
While pre-clinical trials (mice studies) show promise, the use of ivermectin alone for cancer control in humans has not yet been tested in human trials. Researchers are actively studying the use of ivermectin in combination with other drugs.
Important
It is NOT safe to take ivermectin used in veterinary medicine.
You ask about questions to ask your husband's team as you prepare for your upcoming appointment. I might start with:
What are our treatment options?
What are the benefits and side effects of each?
Can a palliative care team help manage side effects?
What complementary or integrative treatments might help with treatment and/or side effects?
Are there clinical trials that my husband might be eligible to take part in?
Back to you, @sapooh75633. How are YOU doing?

Thank you for the information, and direction. I will ask his team your suggested questions. We are absolutely grasping for every straw and hope. We are ministers and have a strong faith in God and His miraculous healing power. We also know He opens doors and gives the medical world wisdom and talent to treat the sick. I am trying to stay optimistic, my husband and I have been together for almost 51 years, we met when I was 12 and he was 13 he is the absolute love of my life, every breath I take. I cannot imagine a moment of my life without him in it. I lost my dad when I was 8 and understand loss from a very young age, it has been my greatest fear to lose him, so that is not an option....we are going to get through this and enjoy a long happy future.
