My husband has end stage laryngeal cancer. He had trach tube put in Sept. to help with breathing. Lymph nodes in neck and collarbone growing. Trach tube changed last week by Dr. There was some bleeding. Dr. said everything looked good. What does that mean? He never commented on the lymph nodes. I don't have much faith in this Dr. Today 11/18 husband is having difficulty breathing through trach tube. Says it feels restricted. There is also blood under trach and he said his shoulder is hurting. I know the cancer is spreading. I hate so see him suffer, I just don't know what I need to do. Anyone go through is? Help. I've been saying to myself the last several weeks that this is the calm before the storm, well I think the storm is coming. Patty, are you out there? I think you and Jack were in a similar situation. Input needed.
