I kind of disagree with your doctor''s recommendation, although I might be wrong as I don''t have all the information and I can''t claim I am an expert in this particular field. I''d like to share what I''m thinking just based on the limited information you provided. First of all, 76 years old is not that old, nowadays people easily live through 80s/90s. And cerebral atrophy happens almost to everyone when people get old, so cerebral atrophy itself really does not mean anything unless the patient is obviously demented without any other reasons. Pneumonia is easily treatable in most situations. The simplest way to improve the patient''s quality of life right now is to treat the pneumonia. I''d hate to make a critical decision like this one without knowing what''s going on. Chest CT/ whole-body PET scan are non-invasive tests for investigating possible lung cancer. The worst case is the patient has metastatic lung cancer secondary to previous gastric cancer. but if the lung cancer is actually a primary cancer, the prognosis of lung cancer really depends on the type and stage of the lung cancer. What I want to say is that not all lung cancer patients will have to die or die soon. This sounds a complicated situation and I recommend you get a 2nd opinion before you decide on hospice/palliative care pathway. God bless!

怎么提高呢？
谢谢，那种比较好，有推荐的吗？
增強抵抗力方面，我是都煮elderberry syrup，每天泡茶給我爺爺喝，長期下來覺得很有效，提供樓主作為參考。 之前有寫過下面這篇帖子，是關於居家老人照顧、維護老人生活品質的，有興趣的話可以參考看看，希望能有一些幫助。 https://m.huaren.us/showtopic.html?topicid=2727258&fid=398&page=1
怎样才能打呢？叫医生开吗？
谢谢🙏

層主給的意見好專業！ 反觀我自己上面發言太過草率，實在汗顏。 樓主，真心覺得這位層主的建議很值得參考！ 應該再諮詢另一位醫師，暸解確切病情狀況和進展，再做決定。
谢谢！老人肺CT有个1.5 厘米左右的结节，住院时有段时间没力气，起不了床，医生检查后，觉得他承受不了癌症治疗/手术/化疗的过程，因此连活检也没做就出院了。现在好些，还不怎么有力气。肺炎症状不明显，医生也没开什么药。

个人感觉医生没有做错。如果肺炎症状不明显，没有发烧，没有严重咳嗽，没有多痰是不需要吃消炎药的。而且消炎药副作用对体弱的人更大。
最最主要是老人体弱，岁数不是主要问题。如果老人能多走路把身体养好，精神以后可以做小手术活检。否则只会让老人做完小手术后更虚弱。虚弱的人很容易感染病毒死亡，即使吃抗生素都没有用。我一个年老亲戚就是普通肺炎死掉的，用抗生素完全没效果。
吃的营养，多蛋白质就可以了，其实没有有用的补品。最有用的就是多走路锻炼，老人不运动衰弱的更快，其他方法都没有办法把身体养好。
