My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer 19 September last year. We were not expecting it at all. He has advanced copd and the consultant was looking at lung reduction followed by lung transport. Then suddenly called in after a Pet scan to be told lung cancer in left lobe. So no longer able to have either lung reduction or transplant.
even worse news followed that, due to his copd and breathing problems there was no treatment available. So we asked the usual question to be told 6 to 12 months.
He is 59 and until then as active as he could be.
we are lucky nearly a yr on and he’s fighting so hoping we will get another Christmas with him. But it’s hard watching him deteriorate and struggle

I can see that you've joined the lung cancer group which I'm sure you'll find is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who are either dealing with this cancer themselves or are a family member of the person with cancer.
Could I also recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group which is a safe and supportive place to share your feelings and get support from others who have someone living with cancer.
