Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Since you have mentioned that cancer 4 stage is there, but nature of cancer not mentioned in query. It spread to the lungs also, so this is the cause of concern. In my opinion the prognosis is not good (condition is not good). 2nd point, how much lung involved ? Nowadays treatment is very effective, as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, so consult an Oncologist and get his opinion. Good luck for your husband.
