Caring for my husband with late-stage lung cancer

Thanks for caring. I had to call hospice last night.....severe pain in his head.....forehead area. Increased morphine and gave another pain medicine earlier than I would have. Took about 15 or 20 minutes and pain eased. Hospice said the cancer has probably spread to his brain. Better today. Right now it is to me like the Coronavirus....Wish we knew when the end would come. I don't want nor want to see him suffer.....All in God's hands.🙏

My husband has advanced COPD and stage 4 lung cancer. He just had his first treatment on dec. 11 this year. He only weighs 105 pounds.. I know how hard it is to watch them waste away and how scared they must be. My husband went into respiratory distress last sunday night and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He will be discharged tomorrow. All he keeps saying is that he wants to go home. It is heartbreaking. Today, at the hospital, while watching him sleep, I also prayed that when God takes him that he does so when he is asleep and can go peacefully. It is too hard to watch them suffer and I don't know if I have the strength to do it, although I must. I will pray for God to give us both the strength we need.
