Hello dear. I have read your question. It seems your brother is having severe illness and due to pneumonia it is getting worsened. it is unfortunate to tell that definite treatment for lung cancer can not be done at this stage because of pneumonia. Once pneumonia is fully treated and he is off oxygen, stable and fit to take treatment only then it is possible to give him definite treatment. Hope you understand now.
Take care

Hello dear. I have read your query. I think your relative is suffering from end stage disease with infection which has caused his physical fitness level to go down. In such a stage proper treatment for cancer is a not advisable as patients cannot tolerate under such conditions. he needs to get rid of his infection ,able to walk without support of oxygen then only cancer treatment can be given. Hope you understand,
thanks
