Hi there Nicole, welcome to the forum, but sorry for why you are here. It sounds like your Dad is being treated for his heart condition, but not his lung cancer. You say he is terminal with lung cancer, but what conversation took place when he was admitted to hospital? Was this made aware to the people who admitted him? It might be helpful to have this conversation with his treatment people on the heart ward. Is he able to have this conversation himself, or are you or your Mom acting for his benefit? In the very least, he should be given medication for the effects of the cancer, i.e. pain meds, oxygen if needed, etc. Perhaps you can arrange to be with him when his treatment people are there, or otherwise, you need to contact them to set up a time when you and your Dad can have this conversation with them.

My response will bump your post to the first page where someone else may have some information to add to this. Come back to the forum and let us know how you get along with it.

Take care.

Lorraine
