My husband has been diagnosed with all four of these and I just want to understand more about what is to be expected. And what I can do to help.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Health Support Group.

We are back at the hospital. We are still in home. They are just trying to keep him comfortable. @merpreb @alamogal635

Good morning- I'm confused by your first two sentences. Are you back in the hospital or at home? Or did you have to go back to the hospital for a treatment?

It was supposed to be in hospital in our home town.

Well my husband fought and struggled long enough. He went home to be with our daughter and granddaughter on 6-14-19.

@tmmmrlts - I am so sorry. You fought with him for a very long time.
I hope that you will find peace now.
If I can help in anyway you just need to call out.
You are also very special. It's been an honor to stand with you.
There is a grieving site on connect. My cellphone is acting up otherwise I'd write the link.
My best to you with a warm hug.

Yes I'm sleeping better especially when I keep my grandchildren. I guess it's just knowing someone else is here. Thank you I will go to the site you recommended. I also started going back to church.
