Hello. Anyone that can give advice/insite, PLEASE DO!!!! My dear friend (52) was Dx with small cell lung in Jan. She is a live wire. Her husband, who has no family, etc is besides himself. She has been through everything, now mets to lung, brain, etc. Chemo stopped. She started hallucinating & turned a funny walnut color 10 days ago, was hospitalized. Drove the RN's NUTS with her antics. But they were wonderful; despite having to put her in straight jacket (which she figured out how to get out of), many escape attempts (they put baby bracelet on her). She did not sleep or eat for 6 days. A GREAT Hospice pain doc took over & said she was on to many meds & reduced them. She finally became lucid & was discharged (yesterday). Here's the problem: husband has come to terms with it all and is a prince and knows that there is not much time left. Hospice came today for "the talk"- will stop in to check every week. Also brought meds & O2 tanks. My friend sounds great - 1st day home. In fact, she feels so good that she is talking about going on all of these trips, like everything is fine and the years to come. Her husband can barely hold back the tears because he knows. Is this behavior "normal"? They are my best friends & I am there every step of the way (& know how to use the computer). He is afraid to travel but dosen't know what to say or do. What happens next; what can we expect as far as cognitive progression? He is a mess. Thank you for your responses-this site is wonderful.
