NAD, but both of my parents had metastatic lung cancer. There was literally zero red tape in getting them pain meds. My father passed 7 years ago, and was getting fentanyl patches, morphine, and Norco. My mom just passed 3 months ago and she had morphine and OxyContin. Your husbands pain should be treated.

Is he getting medical care through the military or civilian hospitals? There's a huge difference in quality as well as the fact that you cannot sue if a practitioner has dropped the ball.
He definitely needs to be checked out sooner rather than later, so if the oncologists cant see him urgently then he should still see primary care, or failing that, go to ED where they can check him over and perhaps even do a CT to establish whats going on with his nodes / progression.
Yea an ER doc can check to make Sure he hasnt developed a PE (blood clot in the lungs) which is common and cancer and causes shortness of breath. The CT will also see if the cancer is bigger. Just be sure to go to an ED thats affiliated with his oncologist so they can see the images
