@leighb , I've seen a couple of your other posts too, and wow, you've both been through so much. I hope the appointment with the doctors goes well tomorrow. Internal radiation for lung cancer is interesting, I'm probably just living under a rock, but I learned a few things from this page: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/brachytherapy/about/pac-20385159
It sounds like you are the primary coordinator for his care. Are you managing to keep your stress level under control? Are you sleeping? What do you do when you just need a break?

@lls8000 I'm doing fine. I was raised to be strong and i have a good support group. If I really need to get away and do something, I can call someone to come stay with him if it's a bad week. When he is on steroids, he is able to do more for himself. Unfortunately, the internal radiation cannot be used on the lungs, but it can be used on the lungs cancer that metastasized into the liver.
