Back in 2017 after few issues with brething etc managed to get my husband to have a can, which revealed non small cell lung cancer - the tumour was on the outside of the lung by his shoulder blade so non terminable but not operable.  he has always been positive and has his christian beliefs.  At the time we did not know that it was 3.7 and quite large.  Chemo and radiotherapy did reduce it and syop it and for 6 months all was fine.  He then got a "chect infection" and although he had had his usual scan it was not reviewed for 3 weeks!! Oncologist said the tumour was growing agin and that he was not sure whether there was inflammation in the lungs or small nodules but would start immunotherapy.  This seemed to go well for around 8 months with no side affects.  Then he bagan to have triuble breathing to the extent he could not climb the stairs.  After a scan the nodules have grown so immuno has not worked.  There is just nothing I can do to ease his pain and anything I say am told "I am not his nurse".  He has been really bad this weekend and all the coughing to bring up the mucus has given him really bad rib pain making it harder even to get in a good position to sleep.  When I asked about pallative care which is the treatment they have said he is on, was told that that doesn't mean anything just it being the name of the treatment. Feel at a loss.
