Hi @mimicmckay , Unfortunately, many people are diagnosed with more than one type of cancer. I'm sorry that you've joined that group. It sounds like you have allowed yourself to grieve and emotionally process the weight of the diagnosis. It's a big one!
Keeping hope in your outlook can help a lot! Many people live active lives with stage IV lung cancer. The outlook has changed considerably in the past ten years, and even during my 5 years I'm seeing new therapies developed. It's encouraging, and I'm so very grateful to the scientists doing this work.
Is your lung cancer EGFR driven? I saw you mentioned Tagrisso in a different post. Have you found the EGFR Resistors Group on FaceBook? https://egfrcancer.org/
Go2 for Lung Cancer has a resource page for support groups: https://lungcancerregistry.org/resources/finding-support/
Also, check with your cancer center for in-person groups in your area. They may have access to caregiver groups for your husband too. I found a group of other long-haul stage IV patients that has been helpful for me.
