I thought of something else that might be an option. Are there any trials that he could get into? Its worth looking into. We have had several members who did very well the the new Optivo chemo when it was trialed. That chemo is for mets to the lungs, Im not sure if it works for other things or if it could be an option for your husband. Ask his doctors if he could benefit from trying it.
Hang in there!
