Hi all,
my husband was diagnised with squamous non small cell lung cancer stage iv on 11/13/22
2.4 cm tumor upper right, 3 stations? lymph nodes in chest, pericardiam fluid. 2 cycles in of chemo/immunotherapy (3 week) couldn't breathe went to ER massive amount if fluid in pericardium and so the snowball rolled. I won't go into the feelings, his side (which I can't say I know being the bystander 😔) and mine. Sure you all know. The tsunami, devastating.
They did not give a good prognosis of course. But faith and hope tell me otherwise. Carboplatin,taxol, keytruda . Tingling electric shocks, lost hair, fatigue, at times dizzy, but now a cough. We don't know if it's a side effect, cancer itself or the cold he unfortunately caught. Had meds from doc and still coughing his head off . Fits at nite. It's driving him insane, can't sleep. Any advice? I feel helpless in this journey.
They drained his heart. It has not come back. I think therapy drug helped that. But a plus. Brain is clear. Another plus.
I joined this to cope. I'm not handling it well. Still feeling blindsided. Thanks for reading.
