A member asked:

Is the pressure from the actual cancer pressing against his lungs?

Tell us the full sto: Unless you tell us the full story, we can not be of much help. Where is the cancer? Is it causing any symptoms? Is it lung cancer or cancer from another site that has spread into the lungs?? If you can give us a more complete and accurate story, then we can address your concerns/questions better.
