I am so sorry to hear about your hubby, as I am going through the end stages of Stage 4 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with my husband. My husband was diagnosed in June of 2016 with cancer in his lung pleura that had metastasized to his chest wall, so surgery was not possible. Since chemo did not stop the spread of the cancer, radiation was used to stop the pain in the metastasized areas, but further spread to the diaphragm has occurred. My husband tried Tercentriq infusion, but suffered a severe reaction that almost killed him, so now, the only thing available is hospice. The way I have coped through this horrible ordeal is to fully rely on God. My husband and I have talked about the treatments, side effects, and the inevitable outcome from the onset, and have cried together while holding each other tight. Coping isn't easy for anyone, but relying on God definately gives me and my husband the courage to cope. We spend each day as normal as possible, amid the pain, meds, etc., but we still hug and kiss each other, hold each others' hand, and kiss each other good night. Before I turn over to sleep at night, I thank the Lord for another day that he has given me to be with my husband. Best of luck to you and your husband, may the Lord be with you both.
