Anyone on a vent needs professional care. That can take in a hospital or at home (or in a Hospice, etc.).
If the house is "full of mold", it would be very bad for the patient. More to the point, it is unlikely you could find qualified staff willing to work there. Mold can be a health hazard to anyone -- healthy or sick.

If a lung cancer patient is on a respirator 24/7, they'll not be around long enough to worry about any molds...sorry

They can, but they shouldn't. The person is having difficulty breathing and the mold won't help at all. A house full of mold needs to be decontaminated or torn down.

only if the person wants to hasten death! Plus if the house is filled with mold it should be reported to the health dept. as some molds cause lung disease and can be spread to others.

If the house is full of mold then no one should be in the house at all.

I stop about 25 years in the past. i'm sorry to say I surely have considered people die from lung maximum cancers. I also comprehend some that had to apply oxygen and persevered to smoke even as they did. staring at someone with lung maximum cancers placed on an oxygen tube of their nostril and function a cigarette of their mouth at the same time style of makes you ask your self about their intelligence.

ideally, patients on ventilator should stay in the hospital for proper monitoring. but for teminally ill patients and the family wants to bring the patient home probably for hospice care at home, they can go home but you have to consider alot of possible complications, most importantly the patency of his/her endotracheal tube and the ventilator set up. you need to have a suction machine at home and a trained medical personel (like a private nurse) who should monitor the patient at home. house molds can infect immunocompromised patients like your patient but the can always be minimized with proper care of the patient.

if they can, they shouldn't. but then again I guess it depends on what kind of mold it is and how long it's been there.
