  1. Thank you for the welcome ! I don't know where to begin, I was struggling to breathe which took me to the ER .. Transported to UTMB where it was confirmed a large mass was blocking my airway.. Started chemo right away . Etoposide and cisplatin? Made a huge difference after I was released home.. About a week later I could breathe again! No more oxygen. 18 days later 2nd round for 3 days .. Feeling really good! 3rd round was switched to carboplatin because of possible hearing damage, started 4th at MDA .. Feeling bad at that point .. Guess it all hit me at once .. 2 days out of 4th and feeling ok, think steroids helped a lot . Looks like from first CT right side mass wrapped around thorax area? Lower lobe , lymph nodes adrenal gland liver.. Spreading:( new CT sounds worse! it was uplifting on new doc visit.. Options! Immniotheraphy? Radiation... Research called Gemini moon project..surgery ? I just don't know at this point, my head is swimming ! sorry for the long narrative I know there are gaps in my details and I sound rambling ! But.... Grateful to vent.
  2. Found out in may I have stage 4 small cell lung cancer, I just finished my 4th treatment , feeling pretty good ... Until I read my CT. scan.. Which I don't understand. It doesn't sound very good, I won't see my oncologist for 3 more weeks. I started treatment at UTMB Galveston but have now gotten into MD Anderson for my 4th treatment. I'm hopeful but in a daze on what's to come next . looking forward to all the info I can get and support would mean so much !
