Stage 4 scc

Hi, my husband was diagnosed with scc lung, liver and adrenal gland 5 weeks ago. The respiratory consultant foolishly told us he might only have 6 weeks to live without treatment. They wouldn’t offer any treatment until results of a bronchoscopy which we get tomorrow. He has had to endure cancellations and a repeat bronchoscopy during the last 5 weeks, it’s been so stressful. He had a course of steroids which perked him up but over the last few days he’s so lethargic, his mouth too sore to eat and he’s buying stuff we don’t need constantly online. £52 on 12 cup cakes, 5 tins of cassoulet and cordless gardening equipment which is duplicating corded items we have. He’s so short tempered with me, I have to wonder if it’s now spread to his brain or if this is just a stress reaction. Obviously I’ll be asking the dr tomorrow but I’m so frustrated and worried right now. Thanks for reading. God bless. 

  • Im so sorry ur going through this, u and ur family. My dad sadly passed two years ago incurable bowel cancer but he too used to sit buying stuff during the night on ebay things we knew he would never ever get to use. We allowed it i think part of him just wanted to believe he would need these items even though he was fully aware of his condition and diagnosis but somehow it made the bad days seem a little better with him feeling like he was achieving something

  • Hi and thanks for replying, it’s so very lonely sometimes when all my husband has done for 24 hrs is sleep. At least he’s not ordering anything. Today we had a delivery of 12 cupcakes at a cost of £52 and 5 tins of cassoulet (he doesn’t even like beans) he won’t eat due to a very sore mouth but I guess he’s ordered these because he really wants to eat. So much gardening equipment too, he never gardened even when he was well but he wants the garden nice to look at when he’s eventually on his death bed by the patio doors. Money isn’t everything hey and I’m no green fingers but I’ll do my best. Much love x
