Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
But honestly speaking stage 4 lung cancer does not carry good prognosis. And only treatment option is palliative treatment.
Palliative treatment consists of
1. Palliative chemotherapy
2. Palliative radiotherapy (if major vessels are not involved)
3. Multivitamins
4. Protien supplements etc.
So no definite cure for stage4 lung cancer. This above mentioned treatment is only to reduce suffering. Better to discuss end of life issues with him.
I find this answer helpful
