Lung CA: I'm sorry to hear your family is going through this difficult time. It sounds like he has lung CA with metastasis. Has he started Chemo or radiation. This may help keep him comfortable and/or prevent further metastasis. You need to discuss his prognosis with his HEM/ONC. Either way he should get his affairs in order. Prepare for the worst & hope for the best. That time clock is out of our hands
