My husband has undergone talc procedure which seems to be working except anew days ago he developed a chest infection and severe shortage of breath. They tell him that the bottom of his right lung where cancer located has kind of shrivelled up and this is what is causing him to be so breathless. They say they want to get him feeling a lot better and will then let him come home. I am told he will need oxygen at all times , avwalker to assist him getting around the flat, a wheelchair if we manage to get him out and a hospice nurse to help us cope. This is all happened over the last five weeks and m6 life has crashed. Trevor is 74 I am 73. I am devastated I just cannot take this all in
give me some advice how to cope with stage 4 cancer and all these life changes
Hi flowersofscotland, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. This must be terribly difficult for you. It will certainly be a huge adjustment for you both, once he comes home. Can I suggest you call the Macmillan support line who will support you through this. They are available 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00.
Please come back here to chat any time. There are a few people in the group supporting loved ones with lung cancer here. Xx
