In July my 71 yr old husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. I am taking care of him. He is a veteran and they suggested Hospice. However, he does not feel that he is ready for Hospice and doesn t want it. He is able to get around, go to bathroom on his own, takes showers, but I stand nearby. He is on pain medications, but spaces them further apart then what they state he can take them. He has lost a lot of weight, but seems to be holding at the same for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes he eats good and other times not so good. He is having dark green stools but I am giving him Iron pills and thought that might be the cause of the green stools.
