We were told in April this was to be the standard care now for Lung Cancer - I am assuming that because he was a part of the clinical study - they still have to keep it classified as that for him and do follow ups on him as long as he want to remain getting the treatments etc. Not my husband - his mother, father and him were/are just good friends - mother has been in nursing home since Dec 3 2004 at 7 p.m. fter 2+ weeks in hospital in Indy - she just died yesterday morning at 6:24 a.m. from new complication; his father died on Jun 28th 2018 after fighting not making red blood cells since diagnosed Nov 2016 , the son was diagnosed with lung cancer in Oct 2017 I am just the caregiver, friend, Pain-in-the-Ass (PIA), the bitch on wheels whatever else they call me sis 2 sisters and step sister could give a dam I was joint P.O.A. for the mother - I was P.O.A. & Medical P.O.A. and I did put a what If in that it would transfer to a daughter. Like I told others this week i have "Sucker" written across my forehead - I stayed with the mother 2/4 and the most the daughter showed up to be with her mother was 2 hours for 4 of the days she did not even come in on christmas day to see her mom. I promised the dad i would stick around for the son and he made provision that it could be done.
