Dear Queenvicii,

I hope you are well. I was wondering how you are doing with your clinical trial. My mother (age 71) was just diagnosed with metastasized SCLC, but it's limited to a small lung tumor and a small brain tumor which was extracted successfully and fully. However, we're desperately trying to find some hope other than standard chemo.

Hi, Vicky. How's it going? I've been thinking of you. Love and power, Carol

Hi! I just wanted to send you hugs and best wishes for a good scan tomorrow. Love and power!

Hi! How're you doing? Hugs -

Queenvicii, I notice that you haven't posted your results as a question, so no one will respond to you unless she or he goes to your WhatNext wall, as I did. I suggest you post on the question part so more friends here can be here for you (if you want, of course). Hugs -

Have faith in GOD and your Doctors--Plus most of all your Caregivers--They are your HOPE----Have a positive attitude all the way and SAY "I WILL BEAT THIS DISEASE" I had small cell lung cancer in 2013 and I am clean THANK GOD AND ALL MY CARE GIVER PRAYERS AND EXPERTISE

KEEP YOUR HOPES UP

Welcome to the group.My husband was diagnosed with limited neuroendocrine sclc in Dec 2013. He had surgery then to remove the right lower lobe. A year later the cancer had returned and he did chemo and radiation this past Spring. He is now considered stable. You got some good advice already about keeping a notebook with your questions and notes from doctors. Taking someone with you as an extra pair of ears is great.This can be overwhelming. Get to know your team and don't be afraid to ask questions. This is your life.

When my husband was told he had sclc stage 4, it felt as though our world stopped and we began a journey together to fight the cancer battle. My relief is prayer and believing we are not alone in this world and beyond. I pray you have a family and friends support system. As all others have said, it is imperative to have someone with you at doctor's appointments, to help you sort things out. Write down every question you have for every appointment. Never assume anything. May God Bless you and keep you strong. You will find courage in yourself, that you never knew existed. Local lung cancer support groups can also be extremely helpful as they know what you are going through and their presence can help with the fears and unknowns.

I was diagnosed in 2011. A tumor was found during a cat scan for a kidney stone. I am considered cured as of October 2014. They removed my lower left lobe, followed by chemo and radiation. I chose not to do the brain radiation. Talk to and listen to your doctors. Ask as many questions as you can think of. Keep a journal.
Be strong, be brave, believe you can beat this! I can't say it was ever easy, but I never stopped trying to get better! I wish you all the best!

Hello and welcome. I have nonsmall cell adenocarcinoma. There is a lot of information and support here.

Hi queenvicii and welcome to WhatNext! I am so sorry for your diagnosis, but very happy that you found us here. We are a friendly group who love to share our experiences, hopes, and fears with others who are facing cancer.

I have non-small cell lung cancer. I was diagnosed in 10/2012. The doctor told us I probably had about 4 months to live. Here I am in 11/2015, still going strong!

I also have friends with small-cell lung cancer who have surpassed the 5 year mark and who are also doing quite well. You keep up the hope!! And, make sure the doctors you trust your life to also have plenty of hope.

Again, welcome to WhatNext. I look forward to getting to know you!
