My beautiful husband has stage 4 lung cancer - I feel so helpless

Stage 4 lung cancer. 58 yr old. The chemo is tough and he’s doubled up in pain. I feel so helpless

  • Hello trickykid

    I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis and that he's struggling with the treatment regimen at the moment. It's understandable that you feel helpless at times. 

    Do make sure you let his care team know about the pain he's experiencing so that they can make any adjustments that might be needed. 

    I also wanted to try and connect you with another new member  who has posted to say that her husband has stage 4 lung cancer and is finding treatment tough. Hopefully the two of you can connect and share your experiences and support with each other. 

    If it would help to chat with one of our nurses at any point trickykid, you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any support and advice they can. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch trickykid - we're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
